Description
- The layers serve as diffusers, allowing the light to bounce off the stone while being softened. After being able to see such a stunning yet enigmatic sight, no one can remain untouched or indifferent.
- This occurs when light reflects off of the moonstone’s thin layers of various minerals.
The optical phenomena known as adularescence, which is responsible for the remarkable shine on the surface of the moon stones, is their most distinctive characteristic. - The gem is named with reference to the moon because of the way light passes across it, producing an aesthetic that resembles the full moon shining through a thin cloud cover.
