Moonstone has to be one of the most popular selling gemstones in this last year. Of course, you know it is related to the movie "Twilight". Bella wears a moonstone ring and every twilight fan wants to be just like Bella ..I guess? Nevertheless, rainbow moonstone is very mesmerizing and truly speaks from within. It is a gemstone you love to stare at.

OOooh so pretty! These stones are nicely colored...mocha to me! They are not so black or dark in color, so when you set them they have that right amount of taupe and brown to them. They are a big size and would make a fabulous chunky ring..don't you think?
