Read our Sourcing Standards →Black moonstone is a dark variety of moonstone, grey-to-black with the same internal flash (called adularescence) that makes regular moonstone glow from within. The darker base color makes the flash more dramatic.
Our tumbled stones are sourced from Amoron'i Mania, Madagascar.
Black moonstone has long been used in practices around staying connected to your body and the moment, a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, and listening to the quieter signals. It's traditionally linked to the root and crown chakras. If that resonates, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
