Moon Gemstone & Crystals
Chandra is the mind (manas). Your Moon sign (rashi) is the lens through which you feel everything, which is why Vedic astrologers read it before anything else. A calm Moon brings emotional steadiness and good sleep; a stressed Moon brings overthinking. Pearl is its gem, with moonstone and selenite as gentle crystal companions.
