About this Moonstone bracelet

The ancient Romans' stone of lunar energy and divine feminine intuition.

History

Both the ancient Romans and Greeks associated moonstone with their lunar deities, believing the crystal was formed from frozen rays of moonlight. It has been used in Roman jewellery since the first century CE and holds deep traditional significance in India as a sacred, dream-bringing stone. The name directly reflects the crystal's adularescence, an optical effect that mimics the ethereal glow of the moon.
