DELICATE MOONSTONES IN 0.925 STERLING EARRINGS with French ear wires
Moonstones are the most highly prized of the feldspar gems. The name moonstone derives from the stone’s characteristic visual effect, called adularescence, which produces a milky, bluish interior light. This effect is caused by light diffraction through alternating layers of orthoclase and albite within the stone. Flawless, clear, or translucent gems exhibiting a rich blue sheen are most valuable. Moonstones are typically cut as cabochons. Moonstones are sometimes cut to create chatoyancy, or a “cat’s eye” effect. Both the Romans and Greeks associated moonstone with their lunar deities. Moonstone is the state Gemstone of Florida. Metaphysically, Moonstone is believed to enhance intuition, promote emotional balance, and foster inner growth. It’s also associated with new beginnings, protection, and good fortune in love and business.
