The stone read as the word

Moonstone's glow is not on the stone; it is inside it. Alternating microscopic layers of two feldspars scatter light and send it back soft, so the whole cabochon looks lamplit from within. The peach variety carries iron, which warms the light from silver to hearth.

Comfort is that: not the absence of edges, but light diffused so nothing glares. A comfortable woman is a room people can sit down in.

What it is carried for

  • Carried to soften a hard week without dulling it.
  • Held to make her presence a place others can rest in.
