Moonstone
Moonstone is a shimmering variety of feldspar, known for the optical effect called adularescence - a soft, luminous glow just below the surface of the stone. The colour ranges from colourless to white, peach, grey or blue, often with a characteristic sheen.
Major deposits include Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar and Myanmar. Moonstone belongs to the orthoclase and albite group within the feldspars, with the chemical formula KAlSi₃O₈. It has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
Pink Moonstone, Black Moonstone and Rainbow Moonstone are much sought-after varieties, each with its own gloss effect and colour tone.

Selenite
Selenite is a clear to translucent variety of the mineral gypsum (CaSOâ‚„-2Hâ‚‚O). It is known for its glassy to pearly luster and often fibrous structure. A common form is selenite, which has a silky luster and occurs in long, fibrous crystals. Despite its name, selenite has nothing to do with the element selenium; the name is derived from the Greek word for moon, because of its soft luster.
Selenite forms in sedimentary environments during the evaporation of seawater and is found in countries such as Mexico, Morocco, the US and Australia. It is a soft mineral with a hardness of 2 on the Mohs scale, making it easy to work by hand. Almost all selenite sold on the Dutch market is satin spar; however, selenite is a market-accepted sales name.
