For the best results it is highly recommended that one wears only 100% natural, unheated, and untreated Moonstone gemstones. As per the Vedic scriptures, a heat treatment harms its sattvic nature, rendering the stone less effective and beneficial. Like other gemstones, the quality of Moonstone is also determined by the four Cs (Color, Cut, Carat, Clarity). 

Color

Moonstones have mostly been accepted with a colorless, semi transparent to nearly transparent blue. The best quality Moonstone is watery blue or white.

Cut

Best quality Moonstone stones have cuts that maximize the effect of hue, tone, saturation and surface area. The commonest shape of a Moonstone is Cabochon, i.e. the flat reverse with an obverse convex. However, faceted moonstones are also popular these days.

Carat

Moonstone of 5 – 7 carat is most popular in Vedic Astrology. Significant smaller and larger Moonstone are used in contemporary jewelry. Generally, the price of Moonstone rises as the size/weight/carat increases.

Clarity

Best quality Moonstone has a smooth, spotless surface. However, most of the stones do contain some inclusions, and they are readily accepted. It is recommended that you buy a Moonstone of minimum or no inclusions inside or on the surface.

Traders deal in Moonstone that is synthetic to natural but is treated/heated and color enhanced, so you must buy only from a reputed dealer with certification from a reputable lab.

Moonstone gemstone Price

Moonstone price depends on its size, its cut, as well as its origin in terms of color and clarity. This is a very useful gemstone for those who have issues stemming from an imbalance in their sacral chakra, despite its low price. Make sure to purchase a moonstone gemstone that has not been heated or treated in any way.

When a gemstone is heat-treated or undergoes the dying process, its healing properties are lost when it is worn. Moonstone has numerous curative properties; to maximize its curative effects, only untreated Moonstone stone should be worn.

The price of genuine, natural and unheated, untreated Moonstone gemstones at Rudra Centre ranges from INR 550 to INR 2,185 (USD 6 to USD 27).

How to Identify or Test Original & Authentic Moonstone?

The best way to check the authenticity of Moonstone is by getting a Lab tested report from a reputed laboratory. Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our Moonstone are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Moonstone carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Moonstone is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Moonstone have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Moonstone, but if you find flaws, then your Moonstone is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Moonstone are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Moonstone. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Moonstone, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Moonstone from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Moonstone. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Moonstone. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.

Moonstone Cleaning & Maintenance

It is essential to give your gemstone a thorough cleaning in order to preserve its luster, as regular use can cause it to become dull. This washing enables it to purge itself from negative energies as well.

Warm soapy water is the best suitable substance for cleaning moonstone.

Moonstone can be shattered by extreme heat or abrupt temperature changes. It is resistant to light but corroded by hydrofluoric acid.

Avoid the use of ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
