Black Moonstone Palm Stone - 1.5-2.75 inch

Black Moonstone Palm Stone is a smooth, polished flattened oval in black to dark grey, lit by a soft pale blue or white adularescent sheen that floats across the surface as it turns in the light. Each piece shows its sheen differently, and the rounded, gently domed shape sits comfortably in the palm and warms quickly to the touch.

Black Moonstone is traditionally associated with protective grounding and quiet intuition, and it is commonly kept as a reflective, steadying lunar stone. A palm stone is meant to be held, so many people keep one to hand during meditation or quiet moments of reflection. Its dark body and hidden glow make it a striking and calming piece to carry or give as a gift.

Geological Information
Black Moonstone is an orthoclase feldspar of the feldspar family, a potassium aluminium silicate with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, displaying adularescence, the floating blue or white glow produced by light scattering between alternating lamellar layers of orthoclase and albite within the crystal. Its dark body colour distinguishes it from cream or white moonstone, though the optical mechanism is identical. The stone shares the broader lunar and protective traditions of moonstone across South Asian and Western esoteric practice, with its darker colouration lending it a stronger association with grounding in modern metaphysical use. India is the primary commercial source, with additional material from Madagascar.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding. Black Moonstone has natural cleavage planes and can chip or fracture if knocked against a hard surface. Handle with care during normal wear.
