Where does this Black Moonstone come from?

These hand polished stones are from Madagascar, the primary source for Black Moonstone with strong adularescence and a dark gray to black body color.

What does AA grade mean for Black Moonstone?

AA grade indicates clearly visible adularescence that moves across the stone's surface, a dark and consistent body color, a quality hand polish, and minimal chips or surface fractures.

Is this Black Moonstone treated or enhanced?

No. Black Moonstone is not treated or coated. The adularescence and body color are entirely natural features of the feldspar mineral.

What intentions is Black Moonstone commonly used for?

Black Moonstone is associated with new beginnings, intuition, and working with shadow or subconscious aspects of the self. It is often used in new moon practices.

How do I care for Black Moonstone hand polished stones?

Feldspar has a Mohs hardness of 6-6.5 and is water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid contact with harder stones, abrasives, or acidic cleaners. Dry gently with a soft cloth after any moisture contact.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

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.
