I had competed in the Riley Festival pageant that year and was serving a role on the court, with a three other girls, one of who bore a beautifully crafted silver locket ring on her hand. We were at the parade of flowers event, where children from local elementary schools come to bring the royal court flowers to be placed on the monument of James Whitcomb Riley.
I complimented her ring and asked her where she got it, she replied saying she had gotten it from a booth on the West end of the festival and I asked her to take me there later. She did and I bought my own silver locket ring for $50. I didn't know at the time that the stone inside the ring was a moonstone and much less understood the metaphysical properties of the ring or how much I would later come to love and identify myself with this stone.
Here is my enchanting ring:
Since then, my collection has grown vast. I can't recall exactly who told me the stone I had was a moonstone, but I believe it was a friend who is in the jewelry making business. She made me a moonstone bracelet and I was later gifted a few moonstone rings by a college boyfriend and have purchased for myself two moonstone pendants and most recently a moonstone necklace that bears five of those opalescent stones.
Moonstone is metaphysically known for the following:
brings good fortune
assists in fortune telling
enhances intuition
promotes inspiration
brings success in love as well as business matters
offers protection at land and sea
Moonstone also opens the heart to nurturing qualities as well as assisting in the acceptance of love. It is an excellent crystal for a first or new love, and is a comforting talisman if love must be kept a secret. It was also believed to be able to reunite loved ones who had parted in anger.
