Peach Moonstone is a relatively soft gemstone, ranking around 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale. Always handle it with care to prevent scratches or damage. Avoid dropping or knocking it against hard surfaces.

Use lukewarm water and a mild soap solution to clean your Peach Moonstone. Gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid soaking the stone for long periods or using ultrasonic and steam cleaners, as excessive heat and vibration can damage its surface.

Keep your Moonstone away from harsh detergents, acids, perfumes, and cosmetics. These substances can erode the polish and dull the natural shimmer of the gem over time.

To prevent scratches, store your Peach Moonstone jewelry separately in a soft pouch or a fabric-lined jewelry box. Avoid keeping it with harder gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, or rubies.

If your Moonstone is set in jewelry, have it inspected by a professional jeweler once a year to ensure the setting remains secure. They can also perform a gentle cleaning to preserve its natural beauty and luster.

Peach Moonstones are sourced from countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar — with Indian Moonstones often prized for their warm glow and superior clarity. The origin can subtly influence value, especially for premium-quality specimens.

The colour of Peach Moonstone ranges from soft beige to warm peach and champagne tones. High-quality stones exhibit a gentle, glowing adularescence — a shimmering light that appears to float beneath the surface. The richer the peach hue and the stronger the glow, the higher the gemstone’s value.

Top-grade Peach Moonstones are semi-transparent to translucent, with minimal visible inclusions. While fine silk-like inclusions are natural and enhance the gem’s allure, excessive cloudiness can diminish its brilliance. Clarity plays an important role in determining both beauty and price.

Moonstones are most commonly cut into smooth cabochons to highlight their natural shimmer. A well-executed cut enhances the gem’s reflective sheen and symmetry. Faceted cuts, though rarer, may be used for jewelry pieces where extra sparkle is desired.

Larger Peach Moonstones are less common and command higher prices per carat. However, even smaller stones can appear luminous and elegant when finely polished. The price increases with size, clarity, and strength of adularescence.

Many fake moonstones in the market are made of glass or synthetic materials that mimic the soft peach glow but lack the natural adularescence and energy of genuine Peach Moonstone. Authentic stones display a subtle, inner shimmer rather than a surface-level sparkle.

Always ask for a gemstone certification from a trusted gemological lab (such as IGI or GIA). A certified Natural Peach Moonstone guarantees authenticity, natural origin, and treatment transparency — ensuring you receive a genuine gem with full astrological and aesthetic value.

Real Peach Moonstone has a delicate sheen that moves when viewed from different angles. Avoid stones that look overly glassy, dull, or have a static shine — these are often synthetic or treated. The natural gem should show soft, luminous play of light within its structure.

Some sellers artificially enhance colour or clarity through heat or dye treatments. Such stones may appear more vibrant but lose their natural luster and spiritual energy over time. Genuine Peach Moonstones have naturally soothing, pastel shades that never look too vivid.

Since Peach Moonstones vary greatly in quality and price, always purchase from trusted gemstone suppliers who provide certification, transparent pricing, and expert guidance. Rasikh Gems ensures all Peach Moonstones are 100% natural, ethically sourced, and lab-tested for purity and authenticity.
