BLACK MOONSTONE

🔮 Black Moonstone

A Stone of Divine Feminine Power, New Beginnings & Deep Spiritual Protection

🔍 Overview

Black Moonstone is a powerful lunar crystal deeply connected to the Moon's cycles, embodying the sacred rhythm of creation, release, death, and rebirth. Unlike traditional Moonstone, Black Moonstone carries a stronger grounding frequency while still retaining the Moon’s intuitive, nurturing, and mystical essence.

This crystal is revered for guiding the soul through periods of transformation, self-discovery, and emotional release. It gently illuminates the shadow self, allowing hidden emotions, suppressed memories, and subconscious patterns to surface safely for healing. Black Moonstone encourages courage, emotional honesty, and the confidence to move forward into new chapters of life.

Strongly associated with the Divine Feminine, Black Moonstone supports women’s spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing, while also helping anyone—regardless of gender—connect with intuition, inner wisdom, and the receptive aspects of consciousness.
