The Moonstone is one of your birthstones! According to American Gem Society, your three birthstones are Pearl, Alexadrite, and Moonstone. Did you know Moonstone is considered a sacred stone in India? Let's learn a little more about this pretty gemstone from the American Gem Society:
It was given its name by the Roman natural historian Pliny, who wrote that moonstone's appearance altered with the phases of the moon — a belief that held until well after the sixteenth century. Moonstones show a floating play of light (called adularescence) and sometimes show either a multirayed star or a cat's eye. Considered a sacred stone in India, moonstones often are displayed on a background of yellow (a sacred color) and are believed to encapsulate within the stone a spirit whose purpose is to bring good fortune.
