Customized June Birthstone Jewelry: Overview of Moonstone

The best moonstones available in the market are found to be colorless with pure blue adularescence. But this June birthstone can also be found in shades such as green, peach, or orange. Most moonstones are cut in cabochons, however, you will also find moonstones to be faceted, since faceting moonstones tend to hide their flaws and enhance their sparkle as well. Other ways in which moonstones can be cut include beads and carvings. Moonstone is not only one of the most accessible birthstones among all the 12 different birthstones of 12 months, but it is also the most stunning. Moonstone is made up of thin, alternating layers of feldspar albite and oligoclase or orthoclase. As light enters through these layers, you will find moonstone’s adularescence, which is its signature floating, internal glow.
