Introduction

Black Moonstone is a darker, earthier expression of moonstone — less “airy glow,” more “storm cloud calm.” These palm stones show layered greys, smoky browns, and in some pieces a gentle reflective shimmer that moves as you tilt the stone.

Because they’re polished into a classic palm shape, they’re especially satisfying to hold: smooth, weighty, and comforting. They make a great everyday stone for anyone who likes pieces that feel quiet, strong, and timeless.

Geological Details

Mineral composition: Black Moonstone is a variety of feldspar (typically within the potassium feldspar / plagioclase family). Moonstone’s signature sheen (known as adularescence) comes from light scattering through fine internal layering and intergrowth structures within feldspar.

Crystal system: Feldspars are commonly described within the triclinic (plagioclase) or monoclinic (orthoclase/sanidine) systems depending on the specific feldspar type. Mineral class: Silicate mineral (tectosilicate). Rock composition: Feldspar is a major rock-forming mineral, commonly found in igneous rocks (like granite) and metamorphic rocks.

Formation process: Moonstone forms as feldspar crystallizes and cools, developing internal lamellar structures that can create sheen. The darker “black” colouring typically comes from mineral inclusions and composition variations within the feldspar.

Rarity or notable features: Black Moonstone is popular because it blends a dramatic, neutral palette with occasional sheen/flash — a look that feels both modern and natural. Each stone is one-of-a-kind, with its own flow lines, speckling, and zoning.

Specifications

• Exact Dimensions: Approx. 2.0–3.5 in (each stone varies)

Collector’s Note

These are an easy “daily driver” for collectors: durable enough for handling, visually interesting up close, and consistent in vibe without looking identical. If you’re selecting for flash, some pieces show more sheen than others — the photos give a good sense of the range.

Display Recommendations

• Looks incredible on light wood or white shelving for contrast.
• Try angled lighting (lamp or window light) to reveal any subtle sheen/flash.
• Pairs beautifully with other neutrals: labradorite, smoky quartz, black tourmaline, and clear quartz.
