Summary
| Description |
English: Moonstone (~1.6 centimeters across at its widest)
The term “moonstone” has been used to refer to various materials, but properly refers to iridescent whitish-gray feldspar. The bluish-white shimmering effect is the result of light being split along the boundaries between closely intergrown feldspars having varying sodium content. |
