A small, polished moonstone obelisk, about 5 centimetres tall. A soft bluish shimmer runs across the light, cream-white base, appearing and disappearing depending on the angle of the light. You receive a unique piece — moonstone is a natural mineral, so the inner drawing and the direction of the shimmer differ on every piece.
The silvery light of moonstone
Moonstone is a member of the feldspar family, and the fine internal layering within it produces the special opalescent effect known as adularescence. This soft bluish shimmer appears when light reaches the surface at certain angles, as if an inner moonlight were glowing through the stone. You receive a small object that lives together with the changing light around it.
Where to place the moonstone obelisk
The pale tone looks beautiful on a bedside table or window sill where natural light runs through it. You can place it in the centre of a small white porcelain dish, beside a dried bouquet — the cool cream-white tone pairs well with both. In a meditation corner the pointed tip symbolises the gathering of attention.
Care and attention
Moonstone is of medium hardness (Mohs 6-6.5), so it keeps its lustre, but it is best to avoid drops and hard impacts. Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use strong chemicals, vinegar or alcohol-based cleaners. If it becomes dusty, you can rinse briefly with lukewarm water and let it dry on a soft textile.
