Moonstone is a feldspar mineral and can be recognized for its schiller effect, or optical phenomenon. Light reflects off two minerals that grow together in alternating layers and creates a blue-white sheen. It looks similar to the effect of thin, high clouds floating in front of the moon - creating a colorful shimmer. It has been used in jewelry throughout the ages and has a rich history of meaning. In ancient Rome it was thought to have been formed by moonbeams and believed to bring good luck. Moonstone is also considered to be the goddess stone as it relates to the moon, tides, and the female cycles. It was used as a protective stone for travelers, especially at night. In India, Moonstone was often given as a wedding gift as it was believed to be a powerful love stone.
