A lovely white Moonstone gemstone with very delicate pale blue glimmers . This Moonstone is set in silver and the pendant comes complete with an 18 in silver chain.

Moonstone is an Orthoclase Feldspar formed from cooling magmas  deep within the Earth. As the magmas cooled at differing speeds so thin layers of the minerals Albite and Orthoclase formed . These minerals have different reflective indexes so light entering the stone is scattered  and diffused in many directions creating the beautiful changes in colour known as adularescence and wonderful lines and patterns within the gemstone.

Hindu and Roman myths suggested that moonbeams were captured and frozen in Moonstones, hence its magical appearance. It was worn as an amulet by ancient travellers . 

It is regarded by many cultures as the stone of femininity and is the birthstone for Cancerians and Gemini.  It may improve intuition and creativity ,providing a calming effect
