Moonstone Price Guide (2026)
Moonstone pricing is driven almost entirely by the strength and color of its adularescent sheen rather than by a treatment or clarity axis, since the effect is structural and essentially untreatable — a vivid blue sheen on a clean body commands significantly more than a weak or grayish one.
Indicative price bands
| Quality tier | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Commercial (weak or patchy sheen, visible flaws) | ₹300 – ₹1,200 per carat |
| Good (solid white/gray sheen, decent transparency) | ₹1,200 – ₹4,000 per carat |
| Fine (vivid blue sheen, clean colorless body) | ₹4,000 – ₹12,000 per carat |
| Collector (exceptional strong, mobile blue sheen, larger cabochons) | ₹12,000+ per carat |

Common Moonstone Price Questions
What makes one moonstone so much more valuable than another?
The strength, color, and mobility of its sheen — a vivid blue sheen that clearly floats and moves as the stone turns is worth considerably more than a weak, static, or grayish sheen, more than size or clarity alone.
