Moonstone Beach
Moonstone Beach was a tourist attraction in the beach community of Redondo Beach, California from the late 1880s to the early 1920s.
== Historical attraction ==
Storms had deposited the moonstones along the beach from the Hermosa Beach city boundary south to about Diamond Street in Redondo Beach. Moonstones belong to the mineral family of feldspars that provide almost two-thirds of all stones on Earth.〔 As the City of Redondo Beach took shape, visitors day-tripping from Los Angeles as well as tourists from the East Coast gathered the moonstones from the many mounds of gemstones washed ashore. It was a popular pastime for amateurs and gemologists alike. Although not very attractive in their natural state, the stones could be cut and polished into beautiful jewelry. One such case involved a local carpenter who sent a moonstone brooch in 1911 to his fiancé living in New York City. The carpenter persuaded his fiancé to join him in Southern California as his bride as he bragged about the beautiful moonstones washing up on the local beaches.
