Description
A moonstone gemstone, cut into an oval cabochon shape. It displays a characteristic optical phenomenon called adularescence, which is a billowy, shimmering light that appears to float just beneath the surface, resembling moonlight. Moonstone is a variety of the feldspar-group mineral orthoclase. It rates 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it relatively soft compared to other gemstones and requiring careful wear in jewelry. Good condition.
