Manmade Moonstone

Could anyone expand on this subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.181.97.102 (talk) 09:56, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manmade Moonstone == Reply

A manmade moonstone is a gem that is created in a lab. It is basically a simulated stone created by man and not by mother nature.

Man made gems are usually lab created to make it exactly the same as a real genuine gemstone but sold at about a fraction of what an authentic or genuine gemstone would cost.

Doubling

The page describes the same mineral that is portrayed at this page. --Arex ru (talk) 11:12, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sites I used

I found information on sites that sell moonstone jewelry and I don't see why we can't use these sites since they have similar information to the official sites. Rapetkewicz (talk) 13:18, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need to promote commercial websites. As noted on your talk, please read WP:RS, a website selling gemstones is not a reliable source. Vsmith (talk) 13:46, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those sites included the same information that is included in the page already Rapetkewicz (talk) 13:46, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good job :D learned a lot about moonstones. Anpatton (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2012 (UTC)anpatton[reply]

Alternative images

Photosubmissions received three photos of a Moonstone found in 1918 on an expedition to Mt Kilimanjaro. Possibly the world's largest. Some combination of the following images may be appropriate for the article.

Moonstone from Africa
Moonstone compared to hen's egg
Moonstone on scale

--SPhilbrick (Talk) 20:36, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems the only one would be the first (don't need the egg and scale) with a note of dimensions and mass/wt in the caption. Vsmith (talk) 21:12, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon?

Is the line about Pokemon evolution really relevant?--71.62.31.168 (talk) 07:38, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No. Gone. Vsmith (talk) 13:33, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chakras? Give me a break!

At the end it states blandly with ref. 7, "Balances brow chakra and opens crown chakra[7]" What, really? Give me a break with this occult nonsense! At best, it should say, "In occult nonsense-land, moonstone is said to..." I would be interested in the article on the pan-balance microscale (and its operation) that determines whether chakras are balanced or not. 66.241.130.86 (talk) 14:56, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removed it as rather meaningless/incomplete? or just nonsense. Vsmith (talk) 01:29, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possible removal from list

Entries in List of colors: G–M contained links to this page.

The entries are :

Moonstone
Moonstone blue

I don't see any evidence that these colors are discussed in this article and plan to delete them from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors#New_approach_to_review_of_entries

If someone decides that these colors should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.--S Philbrick (Talk) 20:50, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"In ancient culture"

The section currently titled "In ancient culture" provides no source, is badly spelled, and generally doesn't seem to be Wikipedia quality material. I suggest either deleting, or expanding with useful information from a credible source. 204.69.190.254 (talk) 16:52, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
