How to use it
-
Wear it through the moon cycle if you track one — moonstone is traditionally worn as a marker of where you are in it.
-
Use the window as a focus point. Resting your eye on it during meditation gives the attention somewhere to sit.
-
Turn it toward you when journaling or pulling cards, the way you would angle any working tool.
-
Take it off before swimming, showering and sleep. Moonstone is softer than quartz and chips more easily than people expect.
-
Wipe it with a dry cloth and store it away from harder stones that can scratch the cabochon.
✨ Temple Tip — moonstone is softer than it looks
Rainbow moonstone sits around a 6 on the Mohs scale, which puts it well below quartz and comfortably within scratching range of ordinary dust and grit. Storing it in its own pouch rather than loose in a dish with harder stones is the single thing that keeps that flash intact over years rather than months.
Questions we get asked
What size is this ring?
Size 8.
What is a planchette?
The small heart-shaped board with short legs used alongside a spirit board, with a window at the tip for reading letters through. The word comes from the French for ‘little board’.
Which chakra is rainbow moonstone linked with?
The heart chakra, in traditional practice.
What is the flash in the stone?
Rainbow moonstone shows a shifting white-to-blue sheen as it catches light. It is a natural optical effect, and it varies from piece to piece.
How should I care for it?
A dry cloth and its own pouch. Moonstone is relatively soft, so keep it clear of harder stones, chemicals and knocks.
A ritual object, not a remedy: The associations described here are traditions of association, not claims of physical or psychological effect, and nothing here is medical advice. Natural stone is never identical twice — color, pattern, veining and exact size vary from piece to piece, and you will receive one stone chosen for you rather than the exact stone photographed. Keep small stones away from young children and pets. Ships within 3 business days.
