moonstones
Feldspars with sheen
Moonstones are gemstones prized for their adularescence—a milky, bluish glow that seems to move across the surface like moonlight on water.
They belong to the feldspar mineral group and have been used in jewelry for centuries.
The name comes from this lunar shimmer: Her ring featured a cabochon moonstone set in silver.
In folklore, moonstones were believed to bring good fortune and enhance intuition.
