   SUMMARY
Nothing says subtle sophistication like grey or silver. In these moonstone cabochons and beads you have three tantalizing impressions simultaneously: silvery-grey translucent stone with a sheen that enhances a sense of sophistication. This sheen is created by light reflecting internally from layers of different feldspars. In silver moonstone, it shows up as a "moon glow" that flows across it like the eye in tigereye. Blend silvery-grey moonstone, black onyx, garnets and sterling silver into a necklace or bracelet for a gorgeous look that is sophisticated and scintillating.
