Moonstone is a type of feldspar mineral that is known for its iridescent or opalescent sheen. It is named for its resemblance to the moon's pale, glowing light. Moonstone can be found in a range of colors, including white, gray, peach, green, and brown. The stone is often used in jewelry making and is believed to have metaphysical properties such as promoting calmness, emotional stability, and intuition. Moonstone is also the birthstone for those born in June.
