BLACK MOONSTONE PALM STONE

Shadow wisdom • Lunar intuition • Protective grounding

What This Item Is

Black Moonstone is a dark, enigmatic member of the feldspar family — a geological cousin to labradorite and rainbow moonstone. Its silken shimmer (known as adularescence) results from light scattering between microscopic mineral layers within the stone.

Metaphysically, Black Moonstone is a stone of shadowed intuition, deep emotional wisdom, and lunar protection. It is the moon in her dark phase — the mystery before revelation, the inhale before rebirth.

Holding this palm stone is like holding the New Moon itself.

Meaning + Lore

Black Moonstone symbolizes the lunar descent — the time when the goddess is hidden, gestating new wisdom. It is associated with winter, the underworld, divine feminine cycles, and the liminal.

Historically, dark moonstones were carried for protection during travel at night.

This stone is a lantern in your darkness — not to reveal everything at once, but to guide you step by step.
