Moonstone has been used in jewelry for millennia. Moonstone comes in several varieties and all moonstone varieties show adularescence, which creates a soft, flowing sheen that moves across the stone's surface. The Romans used moonstone, they believed it was derived from solidified rays of the Moon. Both the Romans and Greeks associated moonstone with their lunar Gods.
