Do you know the myth of the moonstone?

Moonstone is a variety of orthoclase feldspar that scientists call adularia, in reference to Mount Adula in Switzerland, where a spectacular deposit was found.

Its pale, bluish glow and its shifting reflections caused by the diffraction of light are fascinating. Hecatolite is a legendary stone, linked to the celestial world of Greco-Roman mythology through the goddess Hecate.

Who is Hecate?

Hecate, goddess of the three-phase lunar cycle, is a daughter of the sky: her mother Asteria/Astraea is the goddess of the starry night. Hecate is protected by Zeus, ruler of the Olympian gods, he allows her every whim. She can be a fairy or a witch. In Greek, she is called φωσφόρος (phosphoros), the bringer of light, with φῶς (phôs) meaning the light of the moon or the light of torches. In short, Hecate is a sorceress. When she pleases, powerful, intuitive, and protective, she helps hesitant travelers at crossroads; she grants victory and renown; she promotes fertility and protects pregnant women...
