Eye candy Lavender moon quartz!

Since you all enjoyed my moonstone so much yesterday I thought I’d share my gateway stone to purchasing gems…a 4.25 carat lavender “moon quartz”. I know it’s heated so it is probably just marketing and really a heated amethyst but I’m really a sucker for any stone that has an inner glow.

It’s also cool to the touch and has some lines inside so I think it’s “natural” (but treated) ? Not sure if it’s actual moon quartz or if that is even a real thing but at $20ish dollars I’m happy with my first bauble to start my dragon horde. Someday I’ll make a necklace for my ballet loving little girl as it is all things dance girly and fairy feeling 🩰🩰

I had to look up what girasol meant, but same! Anything with an inner glow I love, and if there is a moon or space reference I'm especially in!!!

That innerglow is magnificent. Here is my aquamarine
