Moonstone: The Mysterious Glow of Light

Moonstone jewelry is among the most fascinating gemstones out there. The characteristic shimmer – called adularescence – makes every moonstone unique. No two stones are alike; the light moves differently, the color shimmers individually.

What is Adularescence?

Moonstone belongs to the feldspar group. Its secret: internal layers of orthoclase and albite refract light, creating a soft, silvery-blue shimmer that appears to move as the stone is turned. This phenomenon is called adularescence – and it is unique to moonstone.

Symbolism and Meaning

  • Stone of the goddess and the feminine principle
  • Symbol of intuition, dreams, and creativity
  • June birthstone – alongside pearl and alexandrite
  • Revered as a sacred stone in many cultures

Moonstone Quality: What to Look For?

  • Adularescence Strength: Deep, distinct blue shimmer – the stronger, the more valuable
  • Transparency: Semi-transparent to clear – milky-cloudy stones are less valuable
  • Color of the Light: Blue shimmer most coveted, silver and white also beautiful
  • Cut: Almost always as a cabochon (smoothly domed, not faceted) – for maximum adularescence

Moonstone Jewelry Pieces

  • Moonstone Ring: Cabochon in a yellow gold setting – romantic and unique
  • Moonstone Pendant: Oval or round stone – delicate and mystical
  • Moonstone Earrings: Two perfectly matched stones – rarely beautiful

Caring for Moonstone

Moonstone has a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5 – more delicate than many other gemstones. Clean only with a damp cloth, no ultrasound, no steam. Store separately from other stones.
