Please Note

Each crystal is a unique creation of nature. Variations in color, pattern, flash, shape, inclusions, and size are natural and should be expected. No two pieces are exactly alike, making each specimen truly one of a kind.

Black Moonstone may display flashes of silver, white, peach, blue, or rainbow sheen depending on the angle of light. The intensity and visibility of these flashes will naturally vary from piece to piece.

The crystal you receive may differ slightly from the photos shown but will carry the same mineral composition and energetic qualities associated with that stone. These natural variations are part of what makes every piece special and uniquely yours.
