The most prized moonstone is from Sri Lanka and India. Blue moonstones are highly valued because of their rarity. Such stones can only be found in Sri Lanka.
Which Colour moonstone is best?
The best moonstone has a blue sheen, perfect clarity, and a colorless body color. Sometimes the moonstone has an eye as well as a glare. The similar feldspar form is known as Moonstone Rainbow.
How can you tell good quality moonstone?
A good moonstone should be almost transparent and as free of inclusions as possible. Inclusions can potentially interfere with the adularescence. Characteristic inclusions in moonstone include tiny tension cracks called centipedes. They are called this because they resemble those long, thin creatures with many legs.
