Lot 7pcs Natural Moonstone Cabochons 5mm Round Cut 4.02ct

A mixed lot of 7 round moonstone cabochons with notably varied character between pieces. The top three stones are near-transparent with glassy bodies and visible internal cleavage planes - one carries a vivid, concentrated deep-blue flash, another a diffuse blue-grey glow. The lower four are milkier and more opaque in body, with softer adularescence ranging from pale blue-white to a striking multicolour blue-green shimmer on one piece. The lot spans two distinct visual types within the same parcel.

The variation within this lot means the pieces suit different purposes - the clearer, more adularescent stones work as ring or pendant centres; the milkier pieces suit multi-stone or accent positions. India is the primary commercial source for this type of round cabochon moonstone. Natural moonstone, loose lot, June birthstone.
