Black moonstone is an uncommon variety of moonstone in the feldspar family with a dark gray to nearly black base highlighted by soft silvery, bluish, or white adularescence that appears to move across the surface. The mineral is composed mostly of orthoclase feldspar and rates 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for jewelry but requiring careful handling to avoid scratches and fractures. Cutters commonly fashion high-quality material into cabochons to showcase the glow. Major sources include India, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka. The stone is associated with grounding, protection, emotional balance, subconscious insight, and support during transitions.
