Among the most unusual colour expressions of moonstone in this collection, this 5.24 ct pear-cut stone from India displays a pale yellow-green body colour — a warm, almost chartreuse undertone — with a cool lilac and blue adularescence that plays dramatically against the warm base colour, creating a warm-cool colour tension unique among the specimens presented here. The pear outline is graceful and elongated, ideal for a pendant setting where the stone’s bicolour adularescent display can be presented at its most striking. The pale, translucent body transmits the adularescent light fully, the lilac and blue sheen distributed across the faceted surface in a broad, shifting wash. Natural moonstone (orthoclase feldspar). Weight: 5.24 ct | Origin: India | Cut: Pear | Dimensions: approx. 14.2 × 10.4 mm
