Its glow doesn't come from dye but from extremely fine alternating layers of orthoclase and albite inside the crystal, which break up the light. Experts call this shimmer adularescence, a bluish white sheen that glides across the surface as the stone moves. With a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, it is moderately hard and does best in a protective setting. It also has perfect cleavage in two directions, which is why it doesn't forgive hard knocks. Its body is typically clear to milky white, and the light seems to rest calmly on it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMoonstone Jewelry Made by Hand: Material and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis moonstone jewelry comes as a necklace or as a pendant only, in 925 sterling silver or in a warm 14K gold-filled setting. 14K gold-filled is a real, thick layer of gold that is firmly bonded to a base metal. Unlike simple gold plating, which is applied only wafer-thin, wears off over time, and fades fairly quickly, 14K gold-filled keeps its warm gold tone for years. The wire is wrapped by hand around each raw stone individually, so the setting follows the natural shape of your stone. Your moonstone hangs on a fine chain whose square links interlock closely and lie smoothly against your neck. You choose the length when you order: 45 cm (17.7 in) or 40 cm (15.7 in).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMeaning of the Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Romans believed moonstone was moonlight turned solid, and it owes its name to its soft shimmer, which recalls the moon.
