ABOUT THESE MOONSTONES:
These stones came from my friend at Jay's Crystal Bonanza in Mt. Ida, AR. I love Moonstone, and he had them to offer. I thought they would be excellent starter stones for a beginning rock hound or for crystal grids and healing layouts. Moonstone has (feminine) Goddess energy, Iron Pyrite has (masculine) God energy.
They are "in the rough". Some have flashes of the "adularescence" that are more easily seen then others. Most you have get wet in order to see it, and most you have to view in bright light. (I used to lick my rocks. This is not recommended unless you KNOW YOUR STONES.) Stones can be potentially dangerous. Some are RADIOACTIVE, some have high LEAD content, some can be POISONOUS.
