Rainbow Moonstone Necklace Appraisal

Clear Quartz and Rainbow Moonstone Bead Necklace

This jewelry piece consists of a multi-strand or long continuous strand of polished gemstone beads. The primary material appears to be clear quartz (rock crystal), characterized by its high transparency and vitreous luster. Interspersed within the strand are specific beads exhibiting adularescence—a shimmering blue and white play of light—which strongly suggests the presence of rainbow moonstone (labradorite). The beads are spherical and vary slightly in size, generally ranging between 6mm and 10mm in diameter. The construction features beads strung on a flexible cord with a metallic, possibly silver-toned, magnetic or barrel-style clasp visible near the center. In terms of condition, the stones appear well-polished with few visible external fractures, though internal inclusions and 'veils' typical of natural quartz are present. There are no obvious signs of heavy wear or significant chipping on the surfaces of the beads. The overall style is contemporary and minimalist, emphasizing the natural beauty of the minerals. The craftsmanship is standard for modern semi-precious beadwork, utilizing uniform drilling and high-quality surface finishing to enhance the optical properties of the moonstone accents.
