History
The popularity of this unique gemstone has tended to wax and wane just like the moon. Moonstone was very popular about a hundred years ago at the time of Art Nouveau. It adorns a noticeably large number of the jewellery creations of the French master goldsmith René Lalique and his contemporaries, today mainly to be found in museums.
In many cultures it is regarded as a holy, magical gemstone. In India, moonstones are also regarded as 'dream stones' which bring the wearer beautiful visions at night. In Arabic countries, women often wear moonstones sewn out of sight into their garments, as the moonstone is a symbol of fertility.
In uncut state moonstones are rather unprepossessing and afford little idea of what it is that actually constitutes their charm: that mysterious shimmer of light.
Origin
Traditionally, the classical moonstones, almost transparent and with their bluish shimmer, come from Sri Lanka. They are found in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Madagascar, Brazil, Australia and India.
