Moonstone in Astrology- Benefits and Correct Way of Wearing

Moonstone, traditionally known as Chandrakaantha Mani, is an opalescent stone. Chemically speaking, it is a mineral called feldspar. They can be either of the two types of feldspar – orthoclase or albeit. They can be either sodium aluminum silicate or potassium aluminum silicate. Moonstones are semi-precious stones (Uparatna). They are soft and milky-white stones.

Sri Lanka and Australia are the major producers of the mineral feldspar. Moonstones, in their astrological sense, are from Sri Lanka and India. The best and purest Moonstones are produced by Sri Lanka. These stones are a good example of adularescence, the color play, which gives the apparent effect of glowing from inside out. This inside out glowing is the reason why it has always been attracting humans.

Like every planet, the Moon also has its malefic characters like fears, restlessness, and irrational thoughts.
