Before you choose the perfect moonstone jewelry for you, we want to share some information you need to know before buying moonstone jewelry, including the definition of the moonstone gemstone, where it comes from, and the various benefits and properties of moonstone.

 

WHAT IS MOONSTONE

Moonstone is a variety of orthoclase mineral from the feldspar group. During formation, orthoclase and albite separate into stacked layers. When light falls between these thin layers, it scatters, producing a phenomenon called adularescence. Adularescence is a glow that appears to billow in the gem. Other feldspar minerals can also show adularescence, including labradorite and sanidine. Perhaps the most fascinating aspect of adularescence is its shimmer when moved. A graceful hazy bluish-white light appears to roll across the gem's surface as you change your viewing angle.

 

WHERE IS MOONSTONE FOUND

Moonstone can be found in various countries around the world, including the United States, such as New Mexico, North Carolina, and Virginia. The largest moonstone producing countries are India and Sri Lanka. Other countries that also produce moonstone include Brazil, Madagascar, Myanmar, and Tanzania.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING JEWELRY WITH MOONSTONE GEMSTONES

Now that you have decided to choose your own moonstone jewelry, you should start thinking about the quality of the moonstone, and the jewelry design that suits your style and personality.

The quality of moonstone, like other gems, is determined by its color, clarity, cut, and carat. The best moonstones are those with glass-like clarity with an iridescent electric blue luster. Moonstones may have inclusions such as small cracks inside, known as centipedes. These can interfere with the adularescence or the iridescent electric blue shimmer on the stone's surface. Needless to say, the clearer the stone, the more valuable it is. Moonstones are usually cut into beads, cabochons, or faceted. The best cut for moonstone is cabochons, which can show the natural phenomenon of adularescence within the stone. However, faceted moonstones are becoming more popular due to their ability to hide inclusions within the stone. Moonstones are found in large and small sizes. Jewelry experts often choose moonstones weighing 1 to 5 carats, as they are widely available for jewelry designs. Larger and clearer stones of about 15 to 20 carats are rare and valuable. The largest moonstone ever found is estimated to weigh between 300 to 450 carats!
