To make a moonstone the centrepiece of a piece of jewellery, you need a stone of around six carats, and this one weighs 6.05. It suits someone planning a pendant or a broad statement ring who likes a soft glow more than sharp sparkle.

What the stone looks like

It is a natural moonstone, white with a blue sheen that drifts across the surface as you tilt it. At 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale it is comfortable in a pendant or earrings, but a ring worn daily needs some care.

Treatment, setting and next steps

This particular stone

This listing is one natural moonstone with a weight of 6.05 Carat. Its price is Rs. 3,900 — roughly Rs. 645 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference AG-00092 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale moonstone rates 6 to 6.5. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy moonstone from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every moonstone for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
