Black Moonstone has all of the properties of White Moonstone, with an extra focus on New Moon energy, or the beginning of things. This is a great stone to bring out at the start of any new endeavor, new relationship, or a new pregnancy. Black moonstone is also very protective, deflecting negative energy, and transforming them back to light. More grounding than other Moonstones, it has a much gentler energy than other Root Chakra crystals like Black Tourmaline. Black Moonstone is especially suitable for New Moon Rituals. Black Moonstone evokes the Goddess and the energy of the Dark Moon, a time for personal reflection, spiritual mystery, and deep psychic power.
