Supply Chain for Black Moonstone

This Black Moonstone comes from artisanal miners in Madagascar.  The exact deposit is unknown, but it is likely in Vakinankaratra.  “Moonstone” is a name given to a variety of iridescent feldspar minerals.  Black Moonstone is most often a gray Microcline.  Artisanal mining for feldspar minerals like Microcline tends to be surface mining with a low environmental impact and is relatively safe for miners.

This lapidary hand polishes stones in Antananarivo, Madagascar. It is a woman-owned and family-run business. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at one major gem show in the United States. Every year the lapidary takes on a major charity project at a rural school. Previous projects have included installing bathrooms, creating a playground, and building a sunshelter for parents.

I first met the owner of the lapidary at the 2006 Gem and Mineral show in Tucson, Arizona. At that time I was working for a crystal shop in Utah and was at Tucson primarily as a “pack mule” to help carry all the stones. It was generally agreed by our crew that the “Madagascar” tent contained the most beautiful stones in the entire show.

In 2014, I embarked on my first buying trip for Moonrise Crystals. The company I knew of only as “Madagascar” was the one company I was most determined to find and buy from. This lapidary company only sells at a handful of major gem shows. The only time they are in the USA is for the Tucson Gem Show. During the rest of the year, the lapidary hand polishes their stock and also does charity work in their local community. They continue to offer some of the most beautiful tumbled stones in the industry and are among my favorite suppliers.

In 2019, Moonrise Crystals and the Madagascar lapidary company joined together to financially support a rural school in Madagascar. In 2022, we plan to build a library with books in Malagassi and French.

Black Moonstone Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published February 2016  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 6 minutes
Black Moonstone evokes the energy of the Dark Moon and the Dark Goddess.  Moonstone is an ancient name that is used for a variety of iridescent Feldspar minerals.  They are typically white stones that shimmer and glow when moved in the light, a optical phenomenon known as the Schiller Effect.  During the 20th century, other iridescent stones began to be referred to as Moonstones, most famous some inky black Feldspar minerals.  Black Moonstone is uniquely suited to exploring the subconscious and for shadow work.  It is highly recommended for feminists and for healing wounds caused by toxic patriarchal systems.

    I am so grateful that I have found this business, where so much effort, time and research has gone into the development.

    You have somehow made my love for crystals even bigger than I thought possible!!!

  2. Emma W. (UK)

    Really beautiful stone, as described.

  3. Connie C. (Montana)

    I got my crystals today, they are SO beautiful 🥰 thank you. Not at all what I was expecting.

  4. Justin W (Georgia)

    My moonstones were waiting for me when I got home today and I’m absolutely thrilled with them.The white one has a lovely almost gel-like translucency and very nice, nearly glowing iridescence. Its energy is dreamy, welcoming and calming. Definitely what I imagine when I think “moonstone.” The black one contrasts nicely, being more or less opaque and extremely dark and with less, but still very nice iridescence. It radiates strength and mystery.

  5. Emily J. (North Carolina)

    I received my order today, and all I can say is WOW!! These are some seriously stunning stones. I am overjoyed with these!!

    I wasn’t expecting to be as taken by with the black moonstone as I am. I bought it mostly out of curiosity. It is utterly captivating to me. I also love that the peach moonstones feel as silky as they look! Plus the sparkles are beyond dreamy.

    Thank you for all the lovely crystals you chose for my order. All four of the Moonstones are amazing. The White is alive with blue rainbows! The Rainbow and Tourmaline Moonstones have them too, and the Black Moonstone has several full spectrum rainbows. The Black and White do go nicely together.

    I’ve spent time with almost all of them and each one has been a unique interaction. I’ve held my friends’ stones and in general been in stores, but these have a particular sense to them. Even when I’m not with them, I want to be. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. :)))
    Your efforts to ethically source are beyond and years ahead of what most companies do, but thank you for being so dedicated to moving in a concientious direction. I will continue to support your company and share it with my friends.

  35. Beth S. (Kentucky) (verified owner)

    Oh, what a gorgeous Black Moonstone! It’s much bigger than I expected and feels weighty, mysterious, and pleasingly smooth in my hand. The interplay of black – a more true, dark black than I expected – swirling pale patterning, and vibrant Moonstone-sheen is fascinating. This crystal fairly vibrates with mysterious power. It already feels as attuned to the unknowns and mysteries specific to my own path as if my own dreams had delivered it to me. You were in your power when you chose this crystal, Julie. Thank you!

  36. Sarah M. (Arizona) (verified owner)

    I’m afraid you’ll keep seeing me more often than you’d like But I really loved the two Crystal’s u sent me and they felt right so I will be coming back. I also wanted to thank you for the wonderful tea very nice surprise and truly appreciated. Thank you for all you do

    I received the stones today, and the first words out of my mouth were “oh, wow”. They are all amazing! The black moonstone caught my eye since I’ve seen many different pictures of black moonstone, but yours stood apart by being actually black with beautiful banding. I was just drawn to them. And it is so, so beautiful in person!
