History & Origin:
Black Moonstone is a sodium potassium aluminium silicate that belongs to the feldspar group. With it’s beautiful shimmering surface, (known as adularescence) it is no wonder why the Ancient Romans believed Moonstone was formed from frozen moonlight, with Black Moonstone, in particular, holding a strong connection to the New Moon.
