Moonstone

What is Moonstone?

Moonstone is a feldspar gem famous for adularescence — a soft, floating blue-to-white sheen that seems to glow from within, like moonlight. It is a June birthstone.

Moonstone Benefits & Meaning

Moonstone is associated with intuition, calm and new beginnings, and is loved for its dreamy, glowing sheen. It is worn above all for its unique beauty.

How to Identify an Original Moonstone

Natural moonstone shows a billowy blue or white sheen that moves across the stone as you tilt it, over a translucent body. Because imitations are common in the market, buy from a trusted seller — every stone at GemStore.pk is hand-inspected and, where applicable, lab-verifiable.

Buying from GemStore.pk

How we verify every stone

Before a listing goes live the piece is weighed on a calibrated carat scale, examined under magnification for treatment and filling, photographed in daylight and described exactly as it is. Anything we cannot verify as natural is simply not sold. You are welcome to have any purchase independently tested — that is what lab-verifiable means.

Delivery, payment and returns

Orders are packed in a padded box and sent by tracked courier to every city in Pakistan, usually within 1–3 working days for major cities and 3–5 elsewhere. Pay the rider on delivery after checking the parcel. If the item arrives damaged or is not as described, tell us within 7 days for a replacement or a full refund — see the Return Policy.
