Somewhere Over The Moonstone
Magic is in the air with June’s birthstone - moonstone.
The composition of moonstone is durable and familiar, but its schiller phenomenon is rare!
When light hits this gem, it diffuses across orthoclase feldspar layers creating a billowing adularescent shimmer.
Its glow is captivatingly mystical and only seen in some species of mineral like quartz, moonstone, and labradorite.
This lambent quality resonated with ancient civilizations who believed light was captured within the stone. It became a talisman of protection with healing properties.
Moonstone was most popular in Victorian, Retro, and Art Nouveau jewelry - contrasting crisp metallic detailing with a soft hazy sheen.
Take this opportunity to breathe fresh life into your jewelry collection with moonstone!
