MOONSTONE: A BRIEF HISTORY

In 100AD, the Romans were using moonstone in jewelry, and there are earlier examples still hailing from the Orient.
Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), Roman historian, naturalist and author of the world's first encyclopaedia, referred to stones called astrions - meaning star-stones, thought now to have been moonstones. He described them as 'a colorless stone... (from India) having within it the appearance of a star shining brightly like the full moon.'
Sacred in ancient India, it was thought that if lovers placed it in their mouths during the full moon, then their futures would be revealed, and in the 11th century Europe, it was believed to bring about the reunion of lovers.
