Moonstone is a stone of new beginnings. As its name suggests, it is strongly connected to the moon and to intuition. Like the moon, the stone is reflective and reminds us that, as the moon waxes and wanes, everything is part of a cycle of change. Its most powerful effect is calming the emotions. Moonstone has traditionally been used to enhance psychic abilities and  develop clairvoyance. Psychologically, moonstone calms over reactions to situations and emotional triggers.
