A vibrant Blue Moonstone set in silver to create a wonderful ring. The gemstone shows a beautiful play of pale blue and shimmering white colouration resembling the moon .............of course ! The paler image is the general colour of the gemstone but occasionally the light reveals a deeper colouration . 

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 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 .
