I’ve always been told that my birthstone is the Ruby, for the month of July. While I appreciate the seductive red essence of the Ruby I never really thought it embodied me. Because the Bruja de Chihuahua is always referring to astrological signs, today, I decided to give mine another look.
It turns out the gemstone of Cancer is the moonstone. I looked it up… and absolutely fell in love.

Characterised by an enchanting play of light…
mysterious shimmer which always looks different when the stone is moved…
‘adularescence’…
sensual, feminine aura…
mystique and magic…
In India, moonstones are regarded as ‘dream stones’ which bring the wearer beautiful visions at night…
Symbol of fertility…
Symbolises our being in its entirety…
Strengthens our intuition and our capacity to understand…
Should be handled with care, for they are sensitive…
Really fine blue specimens display an incredible ‘three-dimensional’ depth of colour…
Sensual and seductive aura…
They thrive on being worn and moved about a good deal, for only then can the soft shimmer of light which makes this
gemstone so desirable really come into its own.
I am the moonstone.
