Moonstone is a captivating gem renowned for its ethereal beauty and a unique optical phenomenon called adularescence. This pearly, billowy sheen, which seems to float across the surface of the stone, is caused by the scattering of light as it passes through a layered microscopic structure of Feldspar minerals (Orthoclase and Albite) within the gem. The most prized Moonstones are colorless and transparent with a strong, electric blue adularescence, though the gem can also appear in shades of white, gray, peach, pink, green, and brown. With a relatively low hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, Moonstone is best suited for jewelry that is not subjected to hard impacts, such as pendants and brooches. Historically, Moonstone has been linked to lunar deities and is a traditional birthstone for June, symbolizing new beginnings, intuition, and feminine energy.
