Moonstone is a transparent to semi-transparent to opaque gemstone with a body color that is typically colorless to white, but can also be green, peach, pink, yellow to brown, or gray to nearly black. It's best known and valued for a phenomenon it exhibits known as adularescence, an opalescent shimmer of light that appears to billow across the surface of the gemstone’s body, giving it a special glow. Moonstone sometimes also shows another phenomenon known as a cat’s-eye effect; a white line which moves along the surface of the gemstone as the light source or the gemstone moves. Moonstone is most commonly cut as a cabochon, a shape that displays the color and shimmer of its adularescence and cat’s eye effect well.
