Moonstones Properties
Best known as the psychics gemstone, moonstones do far more than just improve psychic abilities. A type of feldspar, moonstones are almost always a dreamy, milky sort of white. There are a few that are almost bluish or slightly yellowish but white is the predominate color.
The one characteristic that makes moonstones such popular choices is the luminous sheen that flashes through the stones. Known as the schiller effect, the colors of light that dance through the stone can be white, pink, yellow or blue and make you think of the moon reflecting off glass.
There have been reference made to a select few moonstones whose sparkle would come and go as the moon moved through her cycles over the course of the month. The flash being bright when the moon was full and almost non-existent when the moon was in her new moon phase. I can not say I have know, personally of this happening and have no way of knowing if it is simply wishful thinking or if these stones do exist.
Most moonstone crystals are mined in Brazil, Europe, India, Madagascar, North America, Tanzania, with the most popular and largest gemstones coming from the Ceylonese mines

Hold moonstones in your right hand and breathe upon the stone the wish you need fulfilled. Then leave the stone outside on the night of the full moon so it can communicate directly with the moon in all her glory. Leave the stone their until the next full moon. Whisper your wish out your window each night until the next full moon when you will bring the gemstone inside and keep it near you so your wish will come true.
Having problems sleeping. Hold moonstones in your hand, just before bed. Ask them to help you drift quickly into a peaceful sleep, then place them under your pillow. Lay down and enjoy the comfortable nights sleep that you get.

In today's busy society, we often find our work forces us to give up the caring, loving side of ourselves in favor of a detached almost robotic lack of emotion automaton, just to survive without losing our minds.
Moonstones help bring your heart and mind into emotional balance in a way so you can still stay detached but at the same time allowing you to empathize with those around you in a caring and loving way making it
a perfect gemstone for all healthcare workers and lawyers who should fill there offices full of moonstones, lol.
Wear a moonstone pendant or carry a piece of moonstone in your pocket during all phases of your gardening to ensure the fertility of your garden and to help it grow an abundant crop. Each time you are watering your garden, allow the water to flow over the moonstone and into your garden. The only time you are dealing with your garden that you do not want to have moonstone with you is when you are weeding the garden. You wouldn't want to increase the fertility of the weeds after all, lol.
Moonstone jewelry, especially rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces are sought after by Pagan peoples to wear during pyschic or tarot card readings. All types of moonstone jewelry makes great gifts for anyone who works as a psychic or would like to increase their abilities.
Healthcare workers or anyone working in a field where they see the worst of what can happen to humans, often have to close off their emotions to stay sane. This often sets up a situation where they are no longer capable to feeling empathy with people including their loved ones.
By wearing a moonstone gemstone or keeping it in a pocket, it allows them to feel and share the empathy that comes with compassion without allowing the emotions to overpowers them, giving them the best of both worlds.
Need to make changes in your life that are emotionally hard to make? On the night of the full moon, sit outside in the moonlight with a moonstone gemstone in your hand. Close your eyes and think on the things that must be changed. Say the words, "Mother Moon, take these trials from me". Each night until the new moon, say again the words of power and on the night of the new moon, take the moonstone gemstone with you while you travel to a road that leads away from your area. Bury the gemstone along the roadside then leave and never look back, knowing that the unwanted parts of your life are now behind you.
If you are in management or run your own business and want to keep your employees happy and as productive as possible, carry moonstone gemstones in your pocket. It will help you to see all problems from everyones perspective and make decisions that are the best possible in each situation.
