Moonstone

Moonstones have long been linked to the Moon and other concepts like fertility, love, and protection. The name "adularia" for Moonstones comes from the famous Moonstone-producing mountain, Mount Adular in Switzerland. Adularescence in the Moonstones is the result of light diffracted as it strikes the gem's thin, alternating layers of orthoclase and albite. As a result, the gem appears to have an interior light that is to white. The production of a sheen depends on how fine the albite crystals are. White sheen indicates thick albite plates.
