Also known as the Traveler’s Stone, it’s thought to protect travelers at night. Moonstone is also believed to help insomnia and sleepwalking, encourage sound sleep and create good dreams.

 The Romans admired Moonstones and believed they were formed from moonbeams. Both the Romans and the Greeks associated Moonstone with their lunar deities.

Hindu mythology also told that moonstone was made from the moon’s ethereal light. In India, moonstone is considered a sacred and magical “dream stone” that can bring beautiful dreams at night.
