True moonstone is transparent in texture, transparent or translucent, with obvious moonlight eyes, and false moonstone is generally transparent, without the characteristics of moonlight eyes; fracture, true moonstone can see jagged fractures at tiny sections, and false moonstone fractures are mostly shell-shaped fractures; halo, true moonstone often moves in a sheet shape when rotating, and false moonstone halo moves in a linear shape.

1, texture

To identify the true and false moonstones, one could look at the texture. The true moonstone was transparent and translucent, and the moon eye on it was in the middle of the moonstone. The fake moonstone was generally transparent, and the surface did not have the characteristics of the moon eye, so it looked rather rigid.

2. Fracture

To identify the true and false moonstones, one can see the fracture. True moonstones have obvious texture, and jagged fractures can be seen at tiny sections. The fake moonstone fractures are mostly shell-like fractures, and the curved tentacles at the fractures are very smooth.

3. Halo color

One could identify the true and false moonstones by looking at the halo color. When the true moonstone rotated, the halo color on it often moved in a sheet shape, appearing naturally bright. When the false moonstone rotated, the halo color on it moved in a linear shape like the cat's eye effect.
