The moonstone in this jewelry piece not only has an "unearthly glow" this gemstone is prized for, but this one is exceptional in that it has an added cat’s eye effect. The cat’s eye is a white line which crosses and moves around the body of the moonstone as the pendant moves. This whimsical pendant's design is amplified by two striking neon blue apatite stones and two nearly colorless diamonds. A truly unique piece!
GORDON'S DESIGN NOTES: "In ancient times, moonstone was said to be formed from frozen moonbeams. This reference got me thinking of the solar system and the vastness of outer space. It is this cosmic concept that inspired the symbolic design of a far off solar system with a planet and circling moons."
