Belle Rustique

Gorgeous moonstones of any size are getting very hard to find. I managed to get this large one from India. It's a large, curved teardrop and has both fire and some translucency. It looks spectacular, but because it has a healed fracture (slightly visible on surface), I'm selling it for a significantly reduced price. I wrapped this beauty in square sterling silver wire with a decorative topper and hidden bail. The pendant measures 2 1/4" from top of bail and is 1" wide.
Note: Moonstone is a feldspar mineral, a potassium aluminum silicate with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5. It was named after its blue-white sheen which is caused by its lamellar structure. Moonstones are found in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Myanmar, Australia, India and the United States. It is considered a stone of mystery, a gem of the high priestess.
