Pink Moonstone Pendant : What is it?
| Pink moonstone pendants are hung from necklace chains to accent or decorate one’s outfit. They are noted for their pale pink glow, which sets them apart from the more common blue varieties. Their colors actually vary between pale pink, peach, and amber. They are also distinguished by their silky luster, which is caused by light being reflected from the inside. |

Shade: Choose a pink moonstone pendant with a vibrant, iridescent shade. The most valuable ones are those that change color or cause light to bounce off when viewed at different angles. Make sure it will not fade or lose luster when rubbed.
Cut and mount: Make sure your pink moonstone pendant has the right type of mount for its cut. Oval and cabochon cuts should be set on prong mounts, while square and irregular cuts should be set on bezels or frames. Moonstone scratches easily, so make sure the mount or prongs have no sharp ends.
