Still another fine moonstone cab. This one is a lovely teardrop shape with excellent blue flash. It is nearly perfect to the naked eye. A high polished surface, lots of blue flash and a rounded dome. I've border wrapped it using six lengths of 22 gauge sterling wire and given it my signature topper. A sturdy bail accommodates most chains. The pendant measures 1 1/2" from top of bail and is 3/4" 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.
