Yunnan MoonstoneYunnan was one of the producing areas of moonstones in China. Moonstones were also known as " Lover's Stones ". In the center of the moonstones, there would be a faint blue or bright white halo. The better quality ones were translucent and had blue light that floated like waves. The worse ones were semi-turbid, and the lower quality ones only had halos and no blue light. It was produced in many places and produced in large quantities, so it was classified as a relatively common gemstone. The fluid content was relatively developed, and most of the grades were relatively low. The quality of the moonstones produced in Sri Lanka and Myanmar was better. The color of the moonstones produced in India was more diverse. Yunnan and other places in China also produced them.
The story outline of the novel MoonstoneThe story of Moonstone took place during the Victoria of England. During the invasion of India, the British officer John Henkash plundered a mysterious yellow gem from the Indian Moon God. The gem was enchanted and the owner would lose his life. Three Indian Brahmins guarded it for generations. After Hencash retired and returned to England, he carefully took care of the gemstone. Before he died, he gave the gemstone to his niece Rachel.
Many guests came to Rachel's birthday party, including her boyfriend Franklin Black and her cousin Godfrey Eberwhite. Godfrey had colluded with Doctor Candy to mix the opiate into Brandy for Franklin to drink, causing Franklin to sleepwalk and unconsciously take the gemstone in Rachel's room. Godfrey followed Franklin and took the opportunity to take the gemstone, but Rachel witnessed all this but did not say anything because she loved Franklin deeply.
The next day, the gemstone was found missing. The local police couldn't find it, so they asked Inspector Kraft from London to investigate. However, the case was complicated by many people. Franklin's sleepwalking, the maid Rosana's fake pajamas to protect Franklin, and Rachel's concealment of the truth made the case confusing. In the end, Rosanna jumped into the sea to commit suicide because she had no hope of love. Inspector Kraft's investigation was interrupted by Mrs. Wellinde, and the real thief, Godfrey, was able to get away with it.
A year later, the gemstone appeared in the hands of Luke, a London jeweler. Godfrey proposed to Rachel, who had moved to the London mansion, to repay his debt.
