What is moonstone and why does it have a milky look?

Moonstone is a semi-translucent mineral from the feldspar family, celebrated for its adularescence - that inner play of silvery-blue light that seems to drift beneath the surface as you move it. The slightly hazy, milky look isn't a flaw; it's the very natural quality that makes the stone so coveted.

Is Indira's moonstone natural?

What does moonstone symbolize?

Traditionally, moonstone is associated with femininity, intuition, and new beginnings - hence its name. It's considered a stone of inner balance and gentle transformation. Beyond the symbolism, it remains a refined choice for anyone seeking a meaningful piece to wear every day.

What materials are moonstone pieces set in?
