Moonstone: As Magical as a Lunar Eclipse
The moon always seems magical, an ever-changing glowing orb overhead. On the night of April 15th, a rare lunar eclipse created an even more supernatural effect, turning the moon blood red as the sun’s rays refracted through Earth’s atmosphere (see photos and footage from NASA). It may be this sense of magic and wonder that’s made cultures around the world revere the moon, and the moonstone. This glowing silvery white gem looks like the moon itself; in fact, the Romans believed it was formed from drops of moonlight, and Hindu legend claims it was created by moonbeams. Other lore about

If you ask them about the bracelets, they’ll tell you that each one says something about them or represents something that’s important to
What is the July Birthstone?
July’s birthstone is the beautiful red ruby! Red is the color of love, romance, passion, life, and “ruber” is Latin for “red.” Rubies have long been desired for their color, which, being the color of life-blood, may have led some ancients to believe the stones would protect one from bad health.
