These unique Washington State Moonstone earrings in copper were designed for women who enjoy rustic style. Compliment these hypoallergenic earrings with an earthy dress or gift them to someone who loves gemstone jewelry.
Completely handmade by me (Kahlia) in Washington State from my school bus work studio. Made from raw sheet metal, these earrings are hand sawed, soldered and textured. I collected the Moonstone from a beach on the Olympic Peninsula and then cut and polished it for this pair.
Moonstone is formed when two types of Feldspar mix under extreme heat and pressure. It has a hardness of 6 - 6.5 on the Mohs scale, making it a very durable gemstone. Moonstone can be found in igneous rocks with mica (the type I collect). It's found in areas with volcanic activity so it is fairly abundant in Washington State. Moonstone is associated with the element of water and the moon, bringing balance and intuition to the wearer, and is the birthstone for the month of June and the Zodiac sign Gemini.
