These are AA-grade Black Moonstone palm stones from Amoron'i Mania, Madagascar. Black moonstone is a dark feldspar whose gray-to-charcoal body sets off a silvery blue adularescent sheen. Each palm stone runs 1.50-3 inches at Mohs 6-6.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite grounding stone for bedside tables and meditation spaces.
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.
We bring these palm stones in from Amoron'i Mania, Madagascar.
Those who work with black moonstone often turn to it for 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, hold one in your non-dominant hand for a few breaths when things feel shaky. How you use it is up to you.
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.
