About Moonstone
Moonstone is a variety of feldspar known for its soft, floating glow, called adularescence.
As light moves across the stone, it may reveal flashes of white, blue, peach, silver, or rainbow color. Moonstone can range from nearly transparent to milky or included, with each stone showing its own distinctive internal movement and glow.
Symbolism
