Moonstone; Stone of the Moon’s cool Sheen

Gems_at_doinas_008Jewelry_10

Moonstone is not a Birthstone, a Stone with the Moon’s cool bluish-white sheen, the stones in the photograph (not uploaded yet) with the yellow “dots” inside are rare, (I am very lucky to have even seen just one!) one, (the larger one with what looks like electricity) belongs to my Mother’s Midwife (as well as the picture of the Black Opal on my post of the Opal) the other one belongs to Mrs. Stutz’s (Mrs.Stutz comments on my blog often) daughter; Megan (Thanks, Megan!).

Regular Moonstone is just like the Moonstone in pic. #1, though without the “yellow stuff” inside.

Hardness: 6-6.5
