Moonstone Pendant, Sterling Silver, Artisan, Handcrafted, White Moonstone, Blue

Stunning stone! If you love white moonstone this piece it is! This is a handmade sterling silver pendant. The stone is a nice size and makes a lovely statement. The white moonstone has an amazing iridescence in this piece which is why I hand picked it! Glowing purplish blue is so mysterious! It is done in a rectangle and set into a sterling silver bezel. That is framed with a detailed tiny dotted design in the sterling. Beautiful and definitely a one of a kind piece! ***Please note that the lines in the stone are not a cracs but the internal crystallization formation of the stone!*** Condition: New, handcrafted Measurements: 1 3/3" long Markings: 925 Weight: 15 grams Please examine photos for details. Much more beautiful in real life. Thank you for viewing my handcrafted sterling jewelry. I have a love of stones and enjoy designing sterling jewelry with them. ****** Moonstone: It is the traditional birthstone of June in addition to pearls. Other names for this stone are water opal, fish-eye and wolf's-eye. Moonstone was once before extremely popular during the times of Art Nouveau about 100 years ago. Moonstone is the opalescent variety of Orthoclase, which is an alkai feldspar, with a blue or white sheen, referred to as a "schiller", rather like the shine of the moon. This is created by the reflection of light from the internal structure of thin albite layers giving off the blue color and thicker layers feldspar producing the white shade.
