History

Moonstone owes its name to a mysterious optical phenomenon, called adularescence, which is reminiscent of the moon's glow. For centuries, the stone has been incorporated into jewellery and was particularly cherished during Roman times and later during the Art Nouveau period. It was believed that the stone had captured the moon's rays.

In many cultures, moonstone is regarded as a stone of the divine feminine, connected to the cycles of the moon and nature. The peach-coloured variety, with its warm hues, is particularly associated with the heart, compassion, and the nurturing aspects of feminine energy.

Astrology & Moon

Within astrology, Peach Moonstone is often linked to the zodiac signs Cancer and Libra. Cancer, a water sign ruled by the moon, is known for its sensitivity and nurturing nature. Libra, an air sign, seeks balance and harmony.

Like all moonstones, the peach-coloured variety is strongly associated with the cycle of the moon. In traditions surrounding the lunar calendar, the stone symbolises the energy of the new moon: a time for intentions, self-reflection, and embracing new opportunities.

Chakra Philosophy

In chakra philosophy, warm Peach Moonstone is often linked to the second chakra, the Svadhisthana or Sacral Chakra. This energy centre, located in the lower abdomen, symbolises emotions, creativity, and the flow of life energy in Eastern traditions.

Additionally, the stone is sometimes associated with the fourth chakra, the Anahata or Heart Chakra. Within this teaching, this point represents the centre of love, compassion, and connection, with Peach Moonstone being regarded as a symbol for gentleness and emotional warmth.

Fun Facts

• The characteristic lustre of moonstone, known as adularescence, is caused by the way light refracts between wafer-thin, internal layers of different types of feldspar.
• In ancient Rome, it was believed that moonstone was formed from solidified moonbeams and that the stone's appearance changed with the phases of the moon.
• Peach Moonstone owes its warm colour to microscopic inclusions of the mineral hematite within the feldspar structure.
• In India, moonstone is considered a sacred stone and traditionally called 'chandrakant', which means 'beloved by the moon' in Sanskrit.

Care

Peach Moonstone is a feldspar with a hardness of approximately 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. This makes the stone relatively soft and susceptible to scratches. Therefore, always store your bracelet separately and avoid contact with harder materials to protect its surface.

While the stone retains its colour well, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to bright sunlight to best preserve its warm glow. Remove your bracelet when showering, swimming, or exercising, and keep the beads away from chemicals such as perfume, soap, and lotion.

To maintain the gentle lustre of your Peach Moonstone bracelet, you can wipe the beads clean with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. This removes skin oils and dirt, keeping the stones in top condition.
