Scientific Description:
Black Moonstone is a feldspar mineral belonging to the same family as Labradorite and Orthoclase. It displays a dark gray-to-black body color often highlighted with flashes of silver, blue, or peach adularescence caused by light scattering between internal crystal layers. Its silky sheen and subtle shimmer make it a rare and striking variation of traditional moonstone.

Metaphysical Properties:
Black Moonstone carries the nurturing, intuitive energy of the Moon but with an added layer of grounding and protection. It is known to balance emotions, soothe stress, and heighten intuition while keeping one centered during energetic shifts. Often used during the New Moon, it supports new beginnings, emotional healing, and shadow work by helping release old patterns and fears. Black Moonstone is also associated with divine feminine energy and is believed to enhance psychic sensitivity, dream recall, and energetic protection during spiritual work.
