Where Moonstone Is Found
Moonstone is a feldspar mineral prized for its ethereal, glowing sheen (adularescence). Sri Lanka produces the classic blue-sheen moonstone considered finest in quality; India (Karnataka, Odisha), Myanmar, Madagascar, and the USA also yield gem-quality stones.
Use
Moonstone is one of the most direct and widely used substitutes for Pearl, carrying the same Moon-aligned energy around emotions, intuition, and mental peace at a more accessible price point.
