Moonstone jewelry from around the world

Origin:

Moonstone is very well known . It belongs to the feldspar group and is known for its shimmering, usually glassy sheen. The origin of moonstone dates back to ancient times, where it was revered as a magical stone in many cultures. Its main deposits are in countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Australia, the USA, and some European countries. The stone forms through slow crystallization from magmatic rocks and is characterized by its special light refraction, which creates the characteristic "moonlight" appearance.

Special features:

Moonstone has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 7, which makes it relatively robust, but also requires care. The color of moonstone varies from transparent to milky, often with an iridescent blue or, in African countries, a white or peach shimmer, created by the refraction of light within the stone. This phenomenon is called adularescence, which gives moonstone its magical, luminous appearance.
