Moonstone

Description

Moonstones are a precious stone belonging to the Feldspar class of minerals and are celebrated for

their magical glow caused by adularescence. Meetiyagoda mines in Sri Lanka are the source of the

world-celebrated Blue Moonstones. Classical moonstones are always cut as cabochons. However,

some Moonstones feature a cat’s eye effect or a four-spoked star in addition to the typical

undulating shimmer of light. These stones are not only cut as cabochons but also as artistic cameos

or engraved with designs.
