about moonstones:

Moonstone’s mystical presence, known as adularescence, is created when light scatters between alternating layers of orthoclase and albite that have formed within this opaque to translucent variety of feldspar mineral.  Feldspars make up more than half of the earth's crust and give us the ethereal moonstone as well as sunstones, labradorite and amazonite, each having their own special light scattering qualities. Moonstones are aptly named because of their glow, reminiscent of soft moonlight. These stones come in a variety of colors and translucency, the most well known being the rainbow flash moonstone with its clear appearance that flashes with blues. Other beautiful colors are gray, chocolate brown and peach, often having a moonlight gray glow. Moonstones are a gem of calmness, balance and femininity, encouraging reflection and insight.
