Discover how these luminous gems can transform your craft and business
Why Moonstone Feels Like Magic
You know that feeling when you hold moonstone under light? It’s like capturing moonlight in your palm. These gems aren’t just minerals—they’re little pieces of cosmic wonder. Moonstone gets its glow from adularescence , that dreamy blue sheen that dances across the surface when you move it. It’s no wonder ancient cultures thought these stones were made of frozen moonlight!
We source our bulk moonstone slabs directly from natural stone manufacturers specializing in ethical mining. This ensures consistent quality you can build your business around.
Fun fact: The finest rainbow moonstones often come from Southern India. Local miners call them "celestial tears" because finding one feels like a gift from the sky!
Your Wholesale Buying Guide
Buying wholesale shouldn’t feel like decoding ancient hieroglyphs. Here’s how to navigate like a pro:
- Grading matters: AA grade has intense blue flash across 90% of the stone, while A grade shows 50-70% coverage. B grade is perfect for tumbled stones.
- Origin insights: Sri Lankan moonstones have warmer tones, Indian stones have sharper flashes.
- Size tricks: 3-5 inch slabs maximize yield for jewelry-making; 6+ inches are statement pieces.
One jeweler told me: "I used to waste hours sorting through inconsistent batches. Now I get evenly calibrated slabs – cuts my production time in half!"
