Facts about the moonstone
The moonstone is a bit magic, its name comes from the very fact that when moved around it changes hue and color, something that has always reminded people of the phases of the moon. It has been associated for centuries to femininity and as a talisman is supposed to helpfertility, menopause and period pains. It is also said to be the right stone for a student as it increases concentration. It is also the birthstone for people born in June if you follow the modern birthstone chart as most jewellers do. Consequently if you purchase a present to someone born in June you could consider a lovely birthstone necklace with a moonstone pendant. Pendants are a good idea for a stone that not only have talismanic properties, if you choose to believe in them, but is also quite porous and delicate and is not usually the best choice for rings or other types of jewelry when too exposed to potential damages.
Moonstone can come in various colours but before you consider purchasing any moonstone jewelry ensure that the gemstone has the right iridescence when turned around which means that its color will change easily. This is what would make a moonstone more or less expensive.
Moonstone jewelry can be found set in both silver and gold. As it is relatively not very expensive and a soft and light stone it is reasonable to have it in a silver frame (silver is a lot cheaper than gold and not very strong and cannot support well with large and heavy gemstones). Again make sure that if you are buying a moonstone ring that its gemstone it probably covered to add some protection. You can do some research online to have an idea of the price ranges on the market, making an informed choice is necessary whether you are buying moonstone jewelry for yourself or as a gift. You always want to get and should get the very best your investment can purchase.
