Quality
Blue Flash Moonstone is graded using the following quality parameters for its color, clarity, candescence, and cut.
Color
When describing Moonstone’s color, we have to account for three things: its body color, the color of its flash or adularescence, and its translucency.
To simplify Blue Flash Moonstone’s color grading, here at the Gemstone Therapy Institute we take into account:
- The purity of its body color (colorless is superior).
- The strength of its blue flash (stronger is better).
- The extent of its blue flash (bigger is better).
- Its transparency (the more transparent, the better).
Then we grade the Blue Flash Moonstone’s color 3A, 4A, or 5A accordingly. The grade of 6A color quality represents the ideal.
Clarity
In order to qualify as therapeutic, Blue Flash Moonstone must be free of black inclusions or discolorations. Colorless cracks are acceptable and help determine the gem’s clarity grade, which ranges from 3A to 6A.
- 3A: Visible colorless cracks or minor inclusions may be present.
- 4A: Barely visible colorless cracks or minor inclusions may be present.
- 5A: Very tiny colorless cracks or inclusions, visible with magnification, may be present.
- 6A: Absence of any visible blemish or inclusion.
Candescence
A gemstone’s candescence describes not only how well it shines to the physical eye, but also how well it emanates its healing energies. This usually corresponds with its physical radiance, but not always.
Some gemstones naturally radiate their energies more visibly than others. Therefore, grading a healing gemstone’s candescence is the most subjective of our four grading parameters.
Healing Blue Flash Moonstone can appear in a range of candescence as follows:
- 3A: Good
- 4A: Exceptional
- 5A: Outstanding
- 6A: Superlative
Blue Flash Moonstone with a higher candescence rating can reach more deeply into the aura.
Cut
Blue Flash Moonstone has been available in sphere and rondel forms.
Blue Flash Moonstone rondels require careful grading since this gemstone requires especially smooth and symmetrical edges. Blue Flash Moonstone rondels that are too thin are barely therapeutic, no matter how good the gem’s color and clarity may be.
For Blue Flash Moonstone’s cut:
Rondels (must be well rounded and very even):
- 2A: Cut irregularities are easily visible.
- 3A: Cut irregularities are visible upon close inspection.
- 4A: Minimal cut irregularities.
- 5A: No cut irregularities. Rondels are even and consistent throughout.
- 6A: Rondels are as even and consistent as spheres, even though their size may vary if they are graduated on a strand.
How to Use
When Your Moonstone First Arrives
Hold your Moonstone in a sunny window to enjoy the beautiful adularescence, or flash, in each individual bead. If you don’t see the flash at first, hold the gems at different angles in relationship to the light source until you do.
Blue Flash Moonstone that has a high candescence will sparkle in bright light.
Necklace or Bracelet?
A Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire necklace is one of the easiest healing gemstone tools to work with. It’s ideal for the novice who only has time to wear it and keep it clean.
Wearing Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire as a necklace is preferred over a bracelet since the gem has an affinity with the whole of a person—body and aura collectively.
Keeping yourself filled with Blue Flash Moonstone energy is best achieved and maintained when the gems are worn around your neck.
This way, they can access your body and aura more evenly and you can get the most benefit from their energies.
To get the best therapeutic value from a Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire bracelet, keep it under your pillow at night and let it work with you while you sleep. (For bracelets of our new high-candescence Blue Flash Moonstone, call to order.)
Wearing Your Moonstone
Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire can be worn continually or as needed. For best results, in the beginning keep it with you for as long as possible. This means holding it even while cleansing it—but that’s easy when using the GEMFormulas clearing sprays. It also means either wearing the gemstones to bed or sleeping with them under your pillow.
Brighten Your Dreams with Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire
This is a simple and fun technique.
- After wearing your Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire necklace during the day, place it under your pillow at night.
- Fall asleep this way, without any intention at all.
- In the morning, reflect on the quality of your dreams. You may find they are clearer and more interesting.
Not every gemstone is safe to sleep with near your head, but Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire is. If the necklace or bracelet feels uncomfortable there, you can move it down toward your neck and shoulders.
Help Solve Disagreements with Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire
This simple procedure allows you to focus on Blue Flash Moonstone’s effective quality of uniting. This is its ability to bring together opposites and reconcile extremes.
Disagreements are a prime example of opposites, in this case of contrary viewpoints. To regain harmony is important, especially if the disagreement is with a loved one. It requires finding compromise, forgiveness, and understanding, which are found when opposites unite.
Blue Flash Moonstone energy offers a way to do this by helping you see both sides. Understanding the other person’s perspective makes it easier to reach the desired reconciliation, often with a simple compassionate conversation.
At the same time, the Blue Flash Moonstone energy that fills your aura will indirectly affect the person you’re at odds with. They’ll likely see you differently, too, and may be more open to compromise.
Both of you can also be calmer and more centered in the presence of this gem’s energies—even if you’re the only one wearing the necklace.
- Wear the Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire necklace for at least a day. Also keep it under your pillow at night with the intention to solve the disagreement. If all you have is a bracelet, keep it under your pillow for a few nights.
- Locate an area of your body that seems particularly affected by the disagreement. It could be that you feel tension in your heart or stomach, or at the back of your neck when you think about the problem. The location could be anywhere on your body.
- Place the Blue Flash Moonstone & Blue Sapphire on this area for at least thirty minutes, or while you sleep at night.
- Meanwhile, consider your position and the other person’s position from the highest viewpoint you can access.
Depending on the complexity of the problem, you may have to do this procedure for a few days, wearing the gems during the day and placing them on a certain area at night.
Be sure to cleanse your gemstones daily with Energy Clearing Spray to keep them working for you at their best.

I finally got a Blue Flash Moonstone, but its my boyfriend who’s been wearing it 😁 He is more congruent and connected, while previously going fragtmented under pressure. His communication jumps less from one thing to another and I can see the energy filling gaps around his head and upper body.

Thank God for Blue Flash Moonstone. I am a professional musican and when my hormones get imbalanced and my brain gets tired, my coordination goes out of whack. These gems help get some congruence back in my motor skills when I am practicing and performing, especially at these times with some cognitive confusion. Generally I experience better intuitive and automatic motor skills while playing, instead of only using the mind to keep track of what my arms are doing.

Wearing BFM for a few months at a time gives me notably greater access to myself and all levels of manifestation.
