Moonstone is a translucent or transparent gemstone named for its unique optical phenomenon—”Adularescence.” This effect creates a soft, glowing halo on the surface of the moonstone, resembling moonlight shimmering on water, which shifts with the angle of observation. This ethereal glow has made moonstone a cherished gem since ancient times, believed to carry mystical and…
Clear Quartz is a widely found mineral in nature. Its chemical composition is silica (SiO₂), and it is the purest and most transparent member of the quartz family. It is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth’s crust, after feldspar. Its crystal structure is hexagonal, usually in the shape of a six-sided prism, with…
Azeztulite is considered a crystal with high spiritual energy and is often described as a “high-vibration frequency” stone. Its name originates from “Azez,” and this crystal is believed to undergo special energy activation or “enlightenment,” allowing it to resonate with higher spiritual frequencies.

Pearl is an organic gemstone naturally formed by certain mollusks (such as oysters and mussels) under specific conditions. When foreign objects (such as sand grains or parasites) invade the bodies of these mollusks, they secrete a substance called nacre to protect themselves, gradually enveloping the foreign object. Over time, these layers of nacre eventually form…
Tourmaline is a gemstone mineral widely found on Earth, renowned for its rich diversity of colors and unique crystal structure. The name derives from the Sinhala word “tourmali,” meaning “mixed gemstone,” reflecting its often multicolored appearance. It belongs to the aluminum silicate group of minerals, with a complex composition that includes elements such as silicon,…

These metallic threads crisscross within…
Diamond is a natural gemstone and an allotrope of carbon, primarily composed of pure carbon elements. Its structure consists of a highly regular and tightly packed three-dimensional crystal lattice formed by covalent bonds between carbon atoms. This structure gives diamonds their exceptional hardness and luster. With a Mohs hardness of 10, diamonds are the hardest…
