June birthstone history
Moonstone has been used as a gemstone since ancient times. The Greeks and Romans associated moonstone with moon goddesses and moon gods. Moonstone is the stone of the goddess Diana. She is the goddess of the hunt, nature, childbirth, and, of course, the moon. She believed that moonstone formed from solidified lunar rays, so this birthstone possesses a great deal of energy. The gemstone is formed from two types of feldspar: orthoclase and albite. These two types together form a mixed crystal.
The Romans also used moonstone as a healing and protective crystal. They believed this birthstone could ward off infertility and serious illness. They also believed that moonstone could enrich the harvest, and they decorated trees and plants with it.
