"Aura" means an atmosphere or quality that surrounds or is generated by a person, thing, or place. In spiritual terms, it could also have an emotional or mental aura. Here, someone was describing her aura as a "moonstone" because it creates connection and shines the way, spiritually and physically, a moonstone would. It's more commonly used in a way to reference a feeling of something or someone, but amongst the more logical and less spiritual, it could be considered strange. Ex: The story contained an aura of mystery. And I was determined to find out why. Ex: I really liked her aura. It was quite refreshing. Ex: I don't believe in auras and stuff like that.
