Comment: This moonstone distinguishes itself with an uncommon rectangular cushion base and a hilly upper body. The broad dome-top produces unusually formed sheens of moonshine (or snow patches), sometimes even two at a time, split on two 'hill-tops'. Other than these irregular features you are looking at a flawless, transparent, colorless gem with the bright blazing white adularescence called moon-sheen. Being a feldspar it has been used for jewelry since millenia and won't come to easy hurt in cabochon shape and even then can easily be repaired. Naturally in a ring it must be treated for what it is, a prescious gemstone. In a pendant, easily big enough therefore, it will not come to harm unless the wearer does, the very thing which old myths say moonstone will prevent, hence zero-risk!
