Moonstone vs Labradorite

Hold a Moonstone and tilt it slowly in light, that ethereal blue glow called adularescence seems to move as you turn it, as if a small moon were floating inside the stone. In traditional crystal healing, Moonstone is the stone of new beginnings, lunar cycles, and intuitive receptivity. Crystal Bible author Judy Hall describes Moonstone as 'a stone of feminine energy' that 'enhances intuition and inspiration.'

In my practice, Moonstone is for the receptive side of intuition, listening, dreaming, sensing what is just below the surface. Author Melody notes that Moonstone 'helps one to assimilate one's own feminine energy,' and the way this stone meets you is often quiet and pulsing, like the moon itself.

Tilt a Labradorite slowly and watch the flash appear, blue, gold, sometimes green, all hidden inside grey stone until the light catches it right. In traditional crystal healing, Labradorite is called 'the stone of magic' and is associated with transformation, psychic protection, and the awakening of latent abilities. Crystal Bible author Judy Hall describes Labradorite as 'a highly mystical and protective stone' that brings 'the light of magic to the otherwise mundane.'

In my practice, Labradorite is for the active side of intuition, claiming your magic, doing the energy work, stepping into what you sense. Author Melody describes Labradorite as 'a stone of transformation' that 'enhances the inner sight,' which fits the way it meets you: often with a quiet but unmistakable insistence on growth.
