Stone of the Month Series: Black Moonstone

For October, the Stone of the Month is Black Moonstone, a powerful yet grounding gem that has long been cherished for its protective and healing energies.

As an energy practitioner, I work closely with stones, and with that being said, I want to start offering a small monthly blog called “Stone of the Month.” The idea is that if someone happens to come across my website or blog and is curious about what kinds of stones to use, they can find a little perspective and information on the stones I personally use in my energy sessions.

For October, the Stone of the Month is Black Moonstone, a powerful yet grounding gem that has long been cherished for its protective and healing energies. A rare variety of moonstone and a member of the feldspar family, Black Moonstone carries the reflective energy of the new moon. It encourages introspection, balance, and protection, making it a wonderful companion for this time of year.

I’ve found that Black Moonstone holds a special place in energetic work. Its energy is grounding, yet deeply connected to lunar cycles, helping to balance both feminine and masculine energies. It’s a stone that not only protects and shields against negative influences, including EMFs from everyday electronics, but also supports emotional healing, focus, and clarity.

One of my favorite ways to work with Black Moonstone is during meditation. Holding it in your hand or placing it on your Root or Crown chakra can help you connect with your intuition, release stress, and feel anchored in the present moment. In massage sessions, I often place the stone in the client's hand to help them feel connected to the stone. This help create a protective and calming energy field, allowing clients to feel safe, supported, and grounded.

Black Moonstone also pairs beautifully with certain essential oils. Frankincense, sandalwood, and lavender can enhance its grounding and protective energy. Incorporating them into your daily routine, whether you're meditating, doing energy work, or simply setting an intention for the day, can amplify its calming and stabilizing effects.

This stone is versatile and accessible. Whether you keep it in your pocket, wear it as jewelry, place it on your nightstand, or use it during meditation, Black Moonstone is a gentle yet powerful reminder to honor your boundaries, protect your energy, and stay grounded.

As we move through October, I encourage you to explore Black Moonstone for yourself. Set an intention, hold it in your hand, and allow its protective, grounding, and reflective qualities to support you throughout the month. It’s more than a stone. It’s a tool for balance, introspection, and empowerment.

If you’re ready to experience the energy of Black Moonstone for yourself, I invite you to schedule an energy and healing massage session. Incorporating this grounding and protective stone into your session can support both your body and energy, helping you feel centered and balanced during your session.

With care and support,
