Moonstone is a sodium potassium aluminum silicate, and its name is derived from a visual effect caused by light diffraction within a micro-structure consisting of a regular succession of feldspar layers. Moonstone is a feldspar mineral widespread in the earths crust. It is highly translucent to semi-transparent stone that reflects light in a distinctive shimmering phenomenon known as adularescence. This shine is due to a combination of orthoclase and albite arranged in layers. The light reflected from these layers, if not too thick, is responsible for the unusual optical properties. Since ancient times, moonstone is used in jewelry, and in industrial abrasive and polish base applications. Sri Lanka and India are the major providers of moonstone along with the U.S., Brazil, and Australia.
It exhibits soft, watery opaqueness, and a silvery-white reflection that moves as a line across the surface as light varies. It is said to calm responses, reduce stress, and avoid overreaction. The major factor driving the global moonstone market is its extensive demand in jewelry, considering its traditional benefits. However, relatively low hardness making it prone to stress cracking and cleaving hampers the market growth. Further, increase in astrological benefits of moonstone is expected to deliver substantial growth opportunity to the global market in near future.
The global moonstone market is segmented based on product, application, and geography. Based on product, it is bifurcated into transparent and translucent. On the basis of application, it is categorized into jewelry, optical component, and others. Geographically, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
