The moon is considered to be one of the most soothing influences in our modern life. Moonstone, which is linked to the moon, is seen in much the same way. A Roman natural historian named Pliny the Elder wrote about moonstone's changing looks and connected it to the waning and waxing of the moon. Thus, the gem earned its name. Ancient Romans also believed that moonstones - today’s birthstone for June - depicted the image of the Moon Goddess Diana. In India, the stone is said to possess a spirit within that brings good fortune, so it became one of the most sacred stones.
