This is a fantastic gem! This large pastel yellow Moonstone cabochon with just a hint of green color. The stone is misty throughout but is still quite gemmy. There is a slight chatoyant effect that rolls across the entire surface of the cabochon, it resembles a star more so than a cat’s eye. The chatoyant effect itself is not sharp, but the chatoyancy is bright and creates a unique effect. This phenomenon is unique in Feldspar and is called adularescence. True Moonstone is Orthoclase, but this Indian Moonstone is Labradorite or sometimes Sanidine. Adularescent moonstone was once called “Adularia.” The name originated from a city in Switzerland, Mt. Adular (now St. Gotthard), that was one of the first sources of fine-quality moonstone. This stone will look beautiful if set into jewelry, and is sturdy enough to go into a ring if desired. Enjoy!
