Moonstones are often considered to be symbols of Zelia. They respond well to spiritual magic.[1]

a blue moonstone
| Description: Nearly transparent, a blue moonstone is a rounded, slightly irregularly shaped piece of feldspar. Its name springs from the deep reflection that seems to bathe the gem in a soft halo when the light strikes it, similar to the appearance of the moon on a slightly overcast night. This specimen is a light sky blue.[2]

a cats-eye moonstone
| Description: Nearly transparent, a cats-eye moonstone is a rounded, slightly irregularly shaped piece of feldspar. Its name springs from the deep reflection that seems to bathe the gem in a soft halo when the light strikes it, similar to the appearance of the moon on a slightly overcast night. This specimen is a light grass green. Interestingly, its reflective properties seem to skew the light in polar directions, causing a slitted pupil of deeper green to form within the gem.

an opaline moonstone
| Description: Nearly transparent, an opaline moonstone is a rounded, slightly irregularly shaped piece of feldspar. Its name springs from the deep reflection that seems to bathe the gem in a soft halo when the light strikes it, similar to the appearance of the moon on a slightly overcast night. This specimen displays rainbow colors that swirl and meld within the gem as if the gem's interior is liquid color in constant motion.
|
a pale blue moonstone
| Description: When light touches the translucent stone, its pallid, pitted surface glows with a ghostly blue sheen. Thin white rays shimmer over and through the ethereal blue.
|
a pale green moonstone
| Description: Light caressing the surface of the moonstone creates a slim, shimmering silver band upon the misty green surface. Tiny inclusions visible in the more translucent sections of the stone mar the gem's quality, but it still retains a certain aesthetic appeal.
|
a silvery moonstone
| Description: Soft shades of silver chase one another across the moonstone's pallid surface as light strikes the gem at differing angles. Most of the pale, round stone's surfaces are pitted and damaged, but one smooth side reveals the exquisite beauty that the gem will have after proper treatment and care.
