We can often see such gems in the market, especially some very low-grade moonstones with very turbid interior. The price is even lower. In fact, high-quality moonstones are very rare on the market, very rare, and high-quality moonstones will also cost more.
Moonstones of superior quality would be like glass, very delicate and soft, and they also had good light transmission, like moonlight, which was very spiritual.
In recent years, moonstone has attracted the love and attention of many people, so the price of moonstone is also constantly rising. In such a large demand market, the development of moonstone is also very rapid, and the scale of the market is also constantly expanding.
So what is the price of pure natural moonstones? What kind of price will they be at?
In fact, the price of moonstones still had a lot to do with the quality of moonstones. Moonstones were gems with moonlight effects, and they only had stone minerals. If there was no moonlight effect, they could not be called moonstones.
For the quality evaluation of moonstones, it was mainly based on the color, overall transparency, overall purity, and moonlight effect. In particular, moonstones with moonlight effect would play a very important role in the evaluation.
The first thing is to look at the purity of the whole. For moonstones with investment and collection value, it should belong to the texture of the glass body. Moonstones with glass bodies are very transparent as a whole. If the particles are large, and there are no impurities in them, and there is also blue light or colored light, the value is quite high, but the number of such high-quality products is very small. The low-priced moonstones currently circulating on the market are all creamy and very opaque.
In addition, the main selling point of moonstone was its moonlight effect. Therefore, with the naked eye, if the light that could directly float on the surface of the stone was strong enough and bright enough, it was usually blue or color. It would be called blue moonlight and colorful moonlight. It could have such a moonlight effect. This was a very valuable moonstone. Moonstones with transparent base color and slightly blue moonlight were the most valuable varieties.
In addition, it also depends on the area of the overall light. If the moonstone is produced in India, the area of the light will be very large, while the light of the moonstone produced in Africa is overall linear, not flaky, but the overall purity of the moonstone produced in Africa is better than that of India. The main origin of the moonstone is in Sri Lanka. The quality of the moonstone produced here is very special, and the price is also very high. It is very famous. The quality of the moonstone produced in China is slightly worse than that of foreign countries, but because of the large quantity, the price of the moonstone will also be cheaper.
Moonstones are mainly colorless, or transparent to translucent. The floating blue moonlight will belong to the top grade, and if it has the cat's eye effect or the moonlight effect, it is very collectible. At present, it is very rare on the market. Under normal circumstances, moonstones above 5 carats will be large-grain moonstones, which will be of great investment value, while moonstones above 10 carats will belong to the collection level.
