The Magic of Moonstone: A Childlike Perspective | Crystal Healing Blog
If you handed moonstone to a child and asked them what it feels like, you might hear answers like "It's like holding a piece of the moon!" or "This rock has milk inside that moves when I tilt it!". There's an innocent wisdom in these observations that perfectly captures the essence of this ethereal crystal. Let's explore the wonder of moonstone through the eyes of childlike awe.

Children instinctively understand moonstone's magic. To them, it might feel:
- Cool and smooth, like a pebble from a mermaid's garden
- Alive with secret light that "dances" when moved
- Gentle and comforting, like moonlight made solid
- Mysteriously heavy yet weightless at the same time
