    Product Description for Min 1.50ct 8mm Round Blue Moonstone-M4R037

    Moonstone gets its name from its resemblance to the moon. From colorless to milky white to blue-gray, moonstone displays a floating sheen known as adularescence, which is the interplay of light with layers of tiny crystals in the stone. Moonstone is also known as adularia and is found in Myanmar (Burma) and Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Hindus considered moonstone sacred and ancient Romans believed the inner glow waxed and waned according to the cycles of the moon. It ranks a 6 to 6.5 on Mohs' scale.
