The Meaning of June's Birthstone
Every single birthstone has a hidden meaning, and so does June's birthstone. Historically, the moonstone has been believed to be associated with the lunar deities due to its reminiscence of the moon itself. In Hindu mythology it's said that the stone is made from moonbeams itself. Today, June's birthstone is said to represent love, passion, and good luck. This sentimental symbolism makes it an excellent stone to give as birthstone jewellery to your partner to showcase your devotion and care.
What Colour is June's Birthstone?
June's birthstone is known for its pale, milky-to-transparent colour, that comes complete with an adularescence sheen that can be anything from blue to silver. This combination of colours makes moonstones look like they're glowing. The semi-precious gemstone has a truly captivating colour and tone that makes it a beautiful gift for those you love.

How to Care for Moonstone Jewellery?
- Keep away from heat - Moonstones can be super sensitive to heat so you should be sure to keep them away from any hot water, or environments where the heat could crack the stone.
- Soft cloth - Firstly, take a soft cloth to wipe away any loose dirt on your moonstone.
- Mild soap & lukewarm water - To clean away any other dirt, use your soft cloth paired with a mild soap and warm water (not hot) and clean off any excess dirt.
- Rinse - The last step in cleaning your jewellery is to rinse off any soap, and gently wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.
- Avoid submerging - Avoid submerging your piece into water as this can loosen the glue and the stone.
- Keep safe in a jewellery box - Keep your piece safe when you're
not wearing it in a personalised
jewellery box, away from dirt and dust.
