The history of the Moonstone
The name "moonstone" comes from the Greek word "Selenites", and the magic of this stone was discovered around the 1st century. At that time, it was believed that the blue-white light emitted by the moonstone would change according to the moon's wax or wane. In ancient times, Indians prayed with this stone in their mouths on the nights of the full moon, believing that lovers in love would have their wishes come true. The official name for this magical soft glow is the Schiller. Because of this luminous characteristic, the name Moonstone was later given to this ore.
Moonstone is named for the soft blue light it emits, not for the type of mineral. As a result, there are various types and colors of moonstone. Common colors include white gray, gray, blue, green, yellow, and orange, each of which emits a blue to silvery sparkle.
