What Is Moonstone?
Moonstone is a type of feldspar, a group of minerals that are common in the Earth's crust. Feldspars are made up of silicon, aluminium, and oxygen, and they can be found in a variety of colours, including white, pink, yellow, green, and blue.
Moonstone gets its name from its distinctive appearance. When light hits a moonstone, it creates a shimmering or opalescent effect that is often compared to the light of the moon. This effect is caused by the way that light interacts with the mineral's internal structure.
How strong is Moonstone?
Moonstone is a relatively soft gemstone, with a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. This means that it can be easily scratched by harder materials, such as steel or diamonds.
Despite its softness, moonstone is a popular gemstone for jewellery. It is often used in pendants, earrings, and rings. Moonstone can also be used in other decorative items, such as figurines and vases.
