An enticing moonstone sample of 6,30
Within these stones there are often characteristic “centipede-shaped” inclusions.
Raw Moonstone. The structure of these rough flakes show how difficult it is to obtain large stones.
It is a sweet and a sad stone, because even the tear has the same luster, but you know that the baby who laughs after crying will have even brighter eyes afterwards!
To whom shall we advise the moonstone? For those who get up at dawn, sometimes, just for the pleasure of seeing the sun rise; for those who like to sleep under the stars, for those who love to hear the more subtle murmurs of nature, and who adores nurturing the noise of the rain, snow, fog, dew. For those who like to feel as if they were drops of sparkling dew in the perfect harmony of nature, perhaps not so different from many other droplets of water, but which, if you know to look at them in a certain way, you will see us inside a blue flash as deep as the blue lake; this is an absolutely unique emotion, magic and relaxing, as if it were a promise that you know is dedicated only to you, as if it were a communication that you did not understand, but you know that something inside you has recognized, and for that you feel more accomplished, richer than ever before, for that bit of lunar magic which has touched you if only for a moment, for that moment that the blue of the moonstone has captivated you, making you float in the purest and brightest hues.
