Moonstone is a stone of new beginnings. It is strongly connected to the moon and to intuition. It promotes empathy and encourages lucid dreaming, especially at the time of the full moon.

Moonstone is also a feminine stone of intuition. Moonstone is filled with receptive, passive, feminine energy. It balances male–female energies and aids men who want to get in touch with their feminine side. It calms overreactions to situations and to emotional triggers. It stabilizes the emotions, improves emotional intelligence, and provides deep emotional healing.

Moonstone helps the digestive and reproductive systems, assimilates nutrients, eliminates toxins and fluid retention, and alleviates degenerative conditions of skin, hair, eyes, and fleshy organs such as the liver and pancreas. It is excellent for PMS, conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and breast-feeding. A Moonstone elixir was traditionally used for insomnia and the stone can prevent sleepwalking.
