Malawi Moonstone 2.001ct Loose

A type of feldspar produced in Malawi, Southeast Africa. It is characterized by fine, iridescent streaks of light appearing within a translucent crystal. While general moonstones and rainbow moonstones are admired for the schiller effect on their surface, the appeal of Malawi-produced moonstones lies in the way the iridescent light appears to penetrate deep within the crystal. This iridescence is caused by light interference due to slight distortions and layered structures within the crystal, creating an impressive effect of band-like brilliance that spreads in a certain direction. The contrast between its translucency and iridescence is beautiful, and those with particularly good color are rare due to limited production. Please enjoy the unique play of light in each individual stone.

※ While we strive to ensure that the photos show the same color as the actual product, there may be slight differences due to lighting conditions during photography, your monitor environment, etc. Additionally, some photos may be taken using a penlight.

※ For products with UV fluorescence photos, a blacklight with a wavelength of 365nm is used for photography. If you use a light with a different wavelength (e.g., around 395nm), the fluorescence may appear weak or be difficult to confirm. The blacklight used in our store can be found here.
