Description Piece # 98 "Ice"
A Zoria's Creation. Krista DeSelms ©2010

This is a gorgeous Moonstone cab wrapped in square Argentium Sterling Silver. This is one of my favorite pieces and it'll be a long time before I part with it if ever he hee

Moonstone is one of the best known and most valuable varieties of feldspar. This translucent gemstone features an iridescent sheen called "adularescence." By virtue of what is termed as adularescence, a gem displays a billowy floating light which appears to come from below the surface.

Argentium Sterling Silver is the highest quality of Sterling Silver available today and is highly tarnish resistant. Sterling Silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, Argentium is still the 92.5% silver but it replaces some of the copper with the element Germanium which gives it a higher tarnish resistance and less people are allergic to it than just normal Sterling Silver.

Yes, I do custom work.

I love Moonstones! How do you make that and how much does it cost to find a real stone by itself?

Zorias In reply to WolfMoon85 [2011-01-21 14:06:52 +0000 UTC]

How do I make the pendant? Lots of practice, and I buy my stones from local stores and at gem and mineral shows, so the price varies, depending on the place I buy from, the quality and size of the stones.

Beautiful on both sides What is your resource for moonstone cabachons? How do you know what you are buying is real moonstone?

Thank you very much I buy all of my moonstone from local sources or at gem and mineral shows So I handle each piece before buying them. Um... there are things out there that are imitation moonstone, but they just look really fake to me so I don't bother with them.

Ah, I understand. I just was asking because I had heard that moonstone was very rare or hard to buy and I'd wanted to make a moonstone ring for myself at some point.

Thanks for replying. Your work is beautiful.

Thank you very much It takes time to find sources that are reasonably close to yourself, took me a couple months to find stone stores I liked and my favorite one is currently 3 hours from where I live. So don't be discouraged, just keep looking
