NOTE:

Most details shown in the large image are actually not visible to the naked eye, large photographs are meant to show details. We have made the image the closest possible to the original item when viewed on computer screen. Depending on the viewers’ monitor settings, the colour of the item may appear a few shades lighter or darker in comparison to the original item.

Only a few gem species exhibit a floating billowy light just under the polished surface, a phenomenon called adularescence. Mineralogists call gems with adularescence Adularia. Gemologists, jewelers, and lapidaries call them Moonstones. The word “adularescence” comes from the locality where the mineral species orthoclase was discovered, the Adula mountain range, also called the Adula Alps, between southeastern Switzerland and Italy. The name “moonstone” is reputed to have originated in India, because of the bluish billowy sheen resembling moonlight on the water in that country.

Orthoclase moonstone typically is found in pastels of white, orange, brown, yellow, pink, very faint blue, very faint green, and gray. It ranges from translucent to semi-transparent and is normally cabochon cut to show off the adularescence. The higher quality moonstones are close to transparent and without visible inclusions. The more transparent and the more blue its adularescence, the higher the value. This quality in larger sizes is quite rare and becomes a big factor in stones larger than 10-mm x 12-mm ovals. By far the most valuable moonstones are those which are colorless, transparent and have a strong blue sheen.

For cat’s eyes and the occasional star moonstones, expect to pay in proportion to the beauty of eye, size and clarity. In rare instances, the schiller phenomenon is multicolored showing blue, with green and/or orange. Such stones are quite valuable and are known as rainbow moonstone. Unfortunately, a lot of low grade labradorite feldspar is advertised and sold by that name (a misnomer), so most people are surprised by the prices of the real gem grade rainbow stones.

Weight and size of gemstone/item may vary slightly from piece to piece due to difference in calibration of our weighing and measuring scales compared to those used by buyers.
