why is Moonstone so hard to photograph?

E39TOF10 · 01-10-2018, 10:56 PM

I have noticed that moonstone is very hard to photograph. It never looks close to the rich detail of moonstone when you snap photos. Having a professional shoot some pictures for me this weekend.

Can't wait to see the results!

Also Amazonite Silver, Pure Metal Silver, and Rhodonite Silver are also very hard to capture. You need a skilled photographer for sure.

Now, If I could just get this angle of the paint every single time.
