Moonstone Heart from China
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.
