Hidden Gems ~ Moonstone
Celestial Moonstone
The mystical glow in moonstone is from the minerals feldspar. Feldspar is also found in meteorites on the moon! Most moonstone comes from deposits in Sri Lanka. The luminous glow emanating from the core of the gem is reflective of the celestial glow from the full, round moon. Recognizing this, the ancients called this gem moonstone.
Feldspar, known as the building blocks of the earths crust, is formed from a combination of nourishing minerals, like potassium, sodium, and calcium. It is from the occurrence of felspar that creates the opalescent shimmer we see in moonstone. Moonstone can be found in different color tones of peach, gray, green, and white, always with its giveaway sheen. Then there is blue flash or rainbow Moonstone, which we mostly use in our unique jewelry designs. I find moonstone with actual rainbows of golden, pink, or green shooting through the shimmery pearly white background. These are more rare and prized!
I look for the clarity of the brightest rainbow flash, while choosing each moonstone for our unique designs
There are varied grades of rainbow moonstone, ranging from a milky thick cloud, to an almost transparent mist. The sweet spot is the moonstone with the most obvious brilliant inner blue or rainbow colored glow. Having been called ‘The Moonstone Gem Queen’ by my customers, I personally keep the quality of all our gemstones exceptional, especially rainbow moonstone. By carefully choosing each piece! Whether in a larger moonstone designer piece, or even in our smaller, easily affordable moonstone designs, we assure you the highest glowing moonstone that you will not be able to find anywhere else.
Moonstone is associated with all things feminine
Moonstone’s inner glow or adularescence is known to offer the serene wisdom of a loving mother. It nourishes and calm the mind, much like the beautiful moon shining its gentle light against a midnight sky. Moonstone is associated with the moon and the Earth, it stirs our finer sentiments, offering us a bit of its transcendent iridescent while reminding us there are glories beyond our vision.
