When ancient Roman brides sewed sapphires into their lapels, when Indian monks divined the patterns of fate under the moonlight - the romance of human beings chasing the moonlight has long been condensed into a miracle gifted by the earth.
Today, the internationally renowned gem testing organization GIL International Gem Laboratory has landed in China with the latest identification and testing technology to reveal to you the ultimate mystery of "June birthstone - moonstone" .
01 Scientific Decoding of Gems Kissed by Moonlight
GIL International Gemological Laboratory Microscopic Archives
Moonstone, also known as moonstone, is a gem mineral with a unique "moonlight effect" and belongs to the feldspar family. Moonstone is mainly composed of potassium sodium silicate and is a gem-grade feldspar with alternating layers of orthoclase and albite.
The most notable feature of moonstone is its unique "moonlight effect" . When light penetrates the layered structure, it scatters a faint blue halo, like pouring moonlight (scientific name: Adularescence), which is also the origin of its name.
Common glass imitations of fakes! Look for these three tricks
The natural iridescence has a soft transition. The imitation is rigid and uniform
with "centipede-like" inclusions inside. The glass is too clean.
Slow heat conduction (professional instrument detection is more reliable!)
02 The mark of civilization and the moonlight faith that has lasted for thousands of years
Oracle Stone - Moonstone
A Roman relief inscription from 200 BC states: "Moonstone blesses a fertile marriage." The ancient Indian book Ratnapariksha warns: "Those with crystal turbidity greater than 20% will bring bad luck."
Moonstone has been regarded as a gift from the moon god to mankind since ancient times, symbolizing tenderness, romance, mystery and elegance. It is also known as the "lover's stone" and a symbol of friendship and love. At the same time, moonstone is also the birthstone of June, symbolizing health, wealth, longevity, passion and courage.
03 Value Bible How to Invest in Moonstone
iridescence effect
Turn the moonstone and observe whether its surface shows a unique flaky halo, which is its unique "moonlight effect". High-quality moonstone halo should be bright, sparkling, and large in area.
Transparency & Clarity
High-quality moonstone should be translucent, with crystal transparency and clear internal texture and structure. Moonstone may contain impurities such as cotton wool and ice cracks. The fewer impurities, the better the quality.
Color & Gloss
The color of natural moonstone is mainly colorless to white, but also has light yellow, light blue and other tones. The moonstone with uniform and pure color is of better quality. Moonstone should have glass luster, the brighter the luster, the better the quality.
04 Guardian Commitment: GIL Certificate Anti-Counterfeiting Guide
1- Security watermark paper
High-quality material: Anti-counterfeiting paper of the same level as financial security, including security thread and customized watermark.
Durable: Long-fiber paper is tear-resistant, waterproof, oil-resistant, and stain-resistant, making it suitable for long-term storage.
2-Window fluorescent safety line
The paper has an embedded metal or plastic anti-counterfeiting thread with a window design that is visible to the naked eye and equipment. It fluoresces red under ultraviolet light and is used for anti-counterfeiting purposes.
3- Brand-exclusive gemstone graphic anti-counterfeiting
The GIL gemstone graphic anti-counterfeiting mark is inspired by natural gemstones. The pattern is exquisite, the structure is complex and symmetrical, and it is composed of precise lines and interwoven geometric elements. It is a brand-exclusive anti-counterfeiting design.
4-X secret mark (exclusive anti-counterfeiting technology)
Hidden marks require professional verification to form a differentiated anti-counterfeiting barrier.
5-Colorless red fluorescent anti-counterfeiting
It is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye under normal circumstances (or only appears in a very light color), but it will show bright red fluorescence when exposed to 365nm ultraviolet light, and it is highly concealed; it is often used in high-quality counterfeiting scenes such as banknotes, certificates, and bills.
6-Special Edition Holographic Hot Stamping Technology
The corporate LOGO is hot-printed with holographic materials, which is both beautiful and improves anti-counterfeiting security and the difficulty of counterfeiting.

“Humans use reason to analyze the genes of rocks, but they still want to believe that every blue halo is a letter from the moon; may this 600 million years of condensed blue illuminate all your answers.”
