A sheen associated with moonstone
Moonstone is a feldspar gemstone known for a sheen that appears to move as the viewing angle changes. This optical appearance is often described as adularescence. A rounded polished surface can emphasize the effect; the exact material description and actual photographs remain more informative than a pale color alone.
Personal symbolism
In contemporary crystal symbolism, moonstone is associated with new beginnings and reflection. These are personal or cultural associations. Someone may choose a piece as a reminder of those values, without expecting the material to produce a physical or emotional effect.
Looking at a finished piece
Look for photographs from more than one angle to understand the sheen. Read the exact material description, since a pale color alone does not establish that a piece is moonstone.
Before choosing a piece
Read the stated material, dimensions and construction of the actual item. Keep the care directions for its setting, cord or other components as well as the stone. Store finished pieces so that they do not strike one another, and choose a stable location for decorative objects.
