Moonstone’s adularescence (the light-scattering phenomenon that gives it that brilliant glow) is why the gemstone has been considered good luck for centuries — it was given its name because it resembles a full moon hiding behind a veil of clouds.
The silvery, pale-blue hue is mesmerizing, and there’s no size or placement of moonstone too insignificant.
Of course, moonstone surrounded by diamonds and sapphires make it shine even more.
