The palm stone is crystal practice's most candid form: no display pretensions, just a stone shaped for the hand's grip and the thumb's slow circuit, the mineral equivalent of a deep breath. Rainbow moonstone suits it doubly, cool and glassy to the touch, and alive to movement, the adularescent flash rolling as the stone turns in the fingers. The tradition seats moonstone in the lunar file, intuition, cycles, and new beginnings, and keeps palm stones for meditation sessions, bedside tables, and pockets on long days. The stone calms nothing by itself, as we always say plainly; it gives the settling hand something beautiful to do.

1. Hold it through meditation or thought; the thumb finds its own circuit.
2. Keep it bedside or pocketed for the day's long stretches.
3. Cleanse by moonlight in the fitting custom; wipe with a soft cloth.

• Rainbow Moonstone Obelisk: the display-scale companion.
• Rainbow Moonstone Bracelet: the wrist's share of the lunar stone.
• Black Velveteen Bag: pocket keeping between holds.
