Material: 925 Sterling Silver; Stone type: Moonstone

Chemical Sensitivity: Moonstone is a delicate, layered feldspar gemstone with a naturally soft surface. Always apply perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and sanitizers before putting on your jewelry to prevent chemical residues from dulling the stone's characteristic adularescence (the floating blue glow effect). Water & Heat Protection: Always remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or exercising. Moonstone is sensitive to both moisture and sudden temperature changes, which can cause internal stress fractures over time. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat may also diminish its natural optical effect. Cleaning with Care: For Silver: Use a specialized silver polishing cloth to gently remove tarnish, taking extra care not to rub the Moonstone surface. For Moonstone: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, followed immediately by a dry microfiber cloth. Never use ultrasonic cleaners, steam, or abrasive chemical dips, as these can cause the stone to crack or lose its unique glow. Impact Awareness: Moonstone rates between 6 and 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it relatively susceptible to chipping or cracking upon impact. Avoid wearing your jewelry during heavy physical work or activities where the stone might strike a hard surface. Safe Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark environment in a separate soft fabric pouch or an anti-tarnish lined jewelry box. Keeping the Moonstone away from harder gemstones and metals will protect its delicate surface from scratches.
