I've attached my dream inspiration piece, and I believe it belongs to a PSer. Sadly, that's all I know.
Blingbunny: None of the ones on etsy really stand out to me-- m ost of them seem washed out when placed on the hand.blingbunny10|1456017978|3993497 said:I don't think any of our usual suspects carry anything but blue moonstone! There are a couple of dealers on Etsy that look to have beautiful rainbow moonstone cabs, but they are based in India and I also don't know how accurate their pics are.... I had considered going that route for blue sheen moonstone, but wasn't quite ready to take on the risk. I did message one dealer and he was helpful, but I haven't bought yet!
If you're interested, you can do a search on Etsy or I can message you on LT or something if you like. Always wary of poaching lurkers!

Dana lists it as a blue-sheen moonstone, but mentions that it has rainbow hues. You can see them in the picture.

Thank you for always keeping us up to date on the Asian side of the CS world.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? It seems most of my googling has only brought me to stones of poor caliber or to blue sheen ones.
