Description
Sterling silver flower shaped dangle earrings with 4mm blue moonstone cabochon. Approximate size 35 x 20 mm (1.36 x 0.8″) including shepherd hooks.
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 thought to enhance intuitive sensitivity, relieve anxiety, stress and over-reaction.
