Gray Moonstone Every GEM has its story

Gray moonstone has similar properties of white moonstone, with extra focus on the mystical side of the
stone’s attributes. It is also called the “New Moon Stone,” this is the go-to stone for psychics and
shamans and other spiritual practitioners. Gray moonstone occurs in Madagascar, Australia, Myanmar,
India, Poland, United States, Shri Lanka, Armenia, and Mexico. During the Art Nouveau period, the gray
moonstone gained a resurgence in popularity. Many jewelers all over the US and Europe were beginning
to work with moonstone again.
Gray moonstone was used in Roman jewelry since the year 100 AD. Ancient Greeks and Romans both
connected the stone with the moon deities. This gemstone comes from the mineral family feldspar,
which is most plentiful in the world, however fine gem-quality gray moonstone is decent and is
becoming more decent as time goes on. Gray moonstone found its way into jewelry throughout history,
but it wasn't until the early 1900s that the stone became an iconic and significant focal point. In the
prior years preceding the Art Nouveau Era, Gray moonstone was often used as a small accent stone.
