Description
Polished naturally shaped blue moonstone specimen with flat bottom. Photo is of actual piece being sold.
This variety of alkali feldspar is of the orthoclase variety. As magma gradually cools, albite within the mineral forms alternating layers which create a shimmering glow known as adularescence. The quality of moonstone varies and may range from a light milky glow to a bright blue glow, with the highest quality displaying a rainbow sheen. Moonstone occurs within igneous rocks such as pegmatite and granite.
As a healing stone, moonstone is said to enhance intuitive sensitivity, relieve anxiety, stress and over-reaction.
