Tonight’s Gemstone: Moonstone
“The Stone Blessed by the Moon Goddess”
The Blue Moon Cocktail
The perfect cocktail for the Moonstone is the Blue Moon. This cocktail is made by shaking gin, lemon juice, orange curaçao, and violet liqueur together. The violet hue of the liqueur recalls the pale blue light of the Moonstone. The tartness of the lemon juice and orange curaçao enhances the coolness of the Moonstone, while the aroma of gin brings out its mystique. This cocktail embodies the elegance and romanticism of the Moonstone.
The Moonstone has long been a symbol of the Moon Goddess. Due to light refraction, it displays a pale blue sheen on its surface, a phenomenon known as adularescence. This changing light is said to represent the waxing and waning of the moon.
Moonstone is believed to be blessed by the Moon Goddess, enhancing love, peace, luck, intuition, creativity, and sensitivity. It also symbolizes the beauty and gentleness of femininity.
The classical piece that complements the Moonstone is Claude Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune’. Composed in 1890, this piano piece is one of Debussy’s signature works. It delicately and beautifully captures the shimmer of moonlit water, and how moonlight falls on trees and flowers, mirroring the quiet brilliance and elegance of the Moon Goddess, much like the Moonstone.(http://classical-sound.seesaa.net/)
An interesting tale about the Moonstone comes from an Indian legend. In India, the Moonstone was revered as the tears of the Moon Goddess. It’s said that when the Goddess wept over her separation from her earthly lover, her tears fell to the ground and transformed into Moonstones. Symbolizing the Goddess’s love, Moonstone was often given to lovers. In India, it was treated as a sacred stone, adorning temples and palaces, and was favored by royalty and nobility. The Moonstone is deeply intertwined with Indian culture and history.
