Moonstone Chips in Bottle with Unicorn necklace

A 1.5 inch glass vial. Filled with moonstone chips, visible through the glass.

A unicorn charm. Which is exactly as whimsical as it sounds, and none the worse for it.

An adjustable cord. Long enough to wear alone or layer.

Moonstone is a feldspar, and its shimmer is a real optical effect: light scattering between microscopic layers within the stone, which mineralogists call adularescence. It is the same family of phenomenon that gives labradorite its flash, and it is the reason the stone was named for the moon in the first place.

Cunningham seats moonstone under the Moon and the element of Water, naming love, divination, and sleep among its powers, which places it on Monday. Modern practice keeps it for intuition and for the lunar cycle, and it is one of the few stones where the old and new attributions agree. The unicorn is a modern flourish rather than a tradition, and we would rather call it that: it is here because it is delightful.

1. Cleanse it on arrival with smoke or moonlight; the vial keeps the chips dry, which suits them.
2. Wear it through the lunar month, or set it out under a full moon to charge, if that is your practice.
3. Hold the vial and name an intention, if the wearing is part of a working.
4. Adjust the cord to layer it with other pieces.
5. Keep it from hard knocks; it is glass.
