HISTORY 

Moonstone's name comes from it's Adularescence (flash, or luster).  The optical phenomenon that appears to move as the crystal is turned or light source is moved, giving the appearance of the light of the moon floating on still water.  

Moonstone has been used as a powerful talisman since ancient civilisations. Romans believed it was formed from moonbeams, and both the Romans and Greeks associated Moonstone with their lunar deities.

Moonstone was named after Pliny, a Roman natural historian, wrote that moonstone’s shimmery appearance shifted with the phases of the moon—a belief that held until well after the sixteenth century.
