Ten round moonstone cabochons in a warm creamy-white body with moderate to strong adularescence. The white base is well-developed, giving the blue glow good contrast face-up. One stone stands out clearly, a deep, vivid blue flash of noticeably higher saturation than the rest. Two or three others show localised flashes of medium strength, and the remainder carry a softer, more diffuse white-blue sheen.
A cohesive lot in body tone, with adularescence ranging from gentle to vivid. The warmer creamy-white base suits yellow gold settings, where the body color pairs well with the metal, and the consistent size makes the lot a practical choice for multi-stone work.
Natural moonstone, June birthstone, sold as a lot of 10.

About moonstone
Moonstone is a feldspar whose soft blue-white glow (adularescence) comes from light scattering between extremely thin layers inside the stone. Like all feldspars it is 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale with two perfect cleavage directions, so it needs protection from knocks.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: vibration and heat can split it along its cleavage.
Wear and storage
Take it off for sport, gardening or heavy work, where a knock is most likely to split it along its cleavage. Below 7 on the Mohs scale it can be scratched even by quartz in household dust, so store it on its own in a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
These stones are untreated. Moonstone should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath. Ask for gentle pressure when setting, since a hard push can split it.
