Identification of moonstone and similar gemstones

There are many kinds of gemstones with a moonlight effect in nature, but only when the feldspar minerals have this effect can they be called moonstone. Other gemstones cannot use the name Moonstone even with this moonlight effect. In the category of semi-precious stones, moonstone is a relatively cheap gemstone, and the price is probably only a string of more than ten yuan. However, if it is translucent and has a light blue halo, the price of moonstone like moonlight is relatively high.


Here are some of the identification of moonstones and similar gemstones:

1. Identification of moonstone and quartz cat's eye

In fact, moonstone and quartz cat's eyes are somewhat similar. Their difference is that the gemstones show different halos when they rotate. When the quartz cat's eyes rotate, the bright linear light strips move in parallel, while the moonstone turns with light blue. Fainting, showing a sinuous moonlight movement.

2. Identification of moonstone and colorless beryl

Both moonstone and leuco beryl are transparent to translucent, with cat-eye and starlight effects. Only the refractive index and density of beryl are slightly higher than that of moonstone, and the inclusions of moonstone are typical braided inclusions, while beryl is a tubular inclusion or gas-liquid inclusion arranged in parallel.

3. Identification of moonstone and chalcedony

The moonlight effect of the moonstone shows a light blue halo, and the chalcedony shows a milky white glow. Moonstone is a kind of single-crystal heterogeneous gemstone. It rotates with four bright and four dark extinction phenomena under orthogonal polarized light, while chalcedony is a polycrystalline cryptocrystalline aggregate with no extinction position under orthogonal polarized light.
