    Product Description for Min 1.75ct 9x7mm Oval Blue Moonstone-M4V043

    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.

    "I was very disappointed with this moonstone. There is almost no blue to it unless you take it outside and move it around to catch the light. However, it is earmarked, and I don't have time to replace it, but be aware that they do not look much like the picture."

    "I'm Just getting started with JTV, I'm able to get everything I need to make "different" jewelery from everyone elses. Prices are great, selection, great, and the "education" provided by the Hosts is wonderful. The Learning-Library that is available on the Web site, very informative. Ive been "rock-hounding for 60 years, and this sure beats being out in the hot sun & visiting with Ratlle-snakes !!!"
