This is a very simple pair of sterling silver earrings, but the moonstone give them that something extra with its lustrous rainbow sheen. The backsides have been cut out and the posts offset to allow extra light into the stone from behind.
Extra fun fact: moonstone is the state gem of Florida. "United States astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin ("Buzz") Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Since this and all other astronaut-controlled spaceflights had been launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, the Florida legislature sought to memorize this "giant step" for humankind. In 1970, lawmakers adopted the moonstone as the official state gem. Ironically, the moonstone, a form of the mineral feldspar, is not found naturally in Florida... nor was it found on the moon!"
