The origin of the name moonstone comes from distant civilizations who named stones based on their natural appearance or physical characteristics.

Moonstone was named so because of its striking resemblance to the moon. This stone has a soft color with pearly reflections similar to those of the moon.

In ancient times, there was a belief that moonstone was actually pieces of solidified moon that arrived on earth. However, this name moonstone is a purely commercial name.

The scientific name of this stone is adularia. Indeed, during the 18th century, an important deposit of this adular stone was found at Mount Adula, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Today, this deposit is unfortunately exhausted.

Moonstone is also called Hecatolite in homage to Hecate, goddess of the Moon in Greek mythology.

No matter what name we give to this stone, it maintains a close link with the moon, which gives it many virtues.

Whatever the civilizations, the Moon and the Sun are stars that have always fascinated our ancestors. The latter lent celestial power to moonstones.

Lunar cycles have been shown to play an important role in the environment, on Earth, and in the seas. They also have an influence on men's moods, in particular by causing sleep disturbances.

In ancient times, the Greeks worshiped moonstone, which they named hecatolite stone after Hecate, their moon goddess. They gave him many offerings hoping to receive the power of clairvoyance and protection. This stone was the symbol of fertility and passion. Worn by pregnant women, this stone protected their pregnancy.

In ancient Rome, femininity and the gift of clairvoyance were associated with moonstone. At the same time, this stone represented Diana, goddess of the moon and animals. She had the power to change friendly feelings into loving feelings. She also protected couples.

The Indians were convinced that moonstone was a stone that had absorbed a lot of lunar rays. There is another version which explains that the moonstone is actually a fragment of the moon that fell to Earth. Today, in India, this pearly stone is still sacred.

In the Middle Ages, this moonstone greatly appealed to women who attributed to it the power to increase fertility and maintain passion. Subsequently, this stone protected the pregnant woman and her fetus during pregnancy.

In Egypt, night travelers wore a moonstone pendant to protect them from possible attacks and to fight against evil spirits.

In 1970, the moonstone became the official emblem of Florida in honor of the Kennedy Space Center, the launch site of the Apollo 11 rocket for the first time to the moon in 1969.
