Incredible Moonstone Jewels: Gemstones are undoubtedly at the top of my list of favorite gemstones (which is rather long). As much as I adore vintage and revival moonstone jewelry, it is becoming increasingly difficult to locate in a variety of ways, most notably moonstones with a brilliant adularescence. That's the trappy shine the stone emits as an optical effect, and not all moonstones have the same intensity. It is also difficult to obtain genuine moonstones in pristine condition, since many have fries or abrasions from years of use or faulty storage.
