IDENTITY CARD

PEACH MOONSTONE

Peach Moonstone is a subtly colored variety of the famous moonstone. Less well-known than its white or rainbow version, it is distinguished by its warm tones of pinkish beige to apricot, and its silky, slightly iridescent luster. A symbol of gentleness and benevolence, it evokes inner cycles, soothed feminine energy and the ability to welcome what is. It is for those seeking a more tender, reconciled connection with themselves.

Moonstone's peachy color is due to the presence of naturally tinted iron and potassium feldspars, which influence the stone's pinkish hue during crystallization.

A little history

Moonstone has been known and used since ancient times, particularly in India, where it is considered sacred and associated with the goddess Chandra. Although the peach variety has only more recently been identified as such, it has long been used in handcrafted jewelry for its discreet brilliance and reassuring hue. In contemporary lithotherapy, it is prized for its ability to combine lunar energy with a more enveloping human warmth.
