A gemstone that shimmers like lunar beams, moonstone is an oligoclase or orthoclase feldspar (which is a mineral group) gemstone. Made up of sodium potassium aluminum silicate, moonstone has a pearly opalescent look. In simple terms, moonstones are a type of feldspar that are filled with alternating layers of oligoclase or orthoclase and albite. You would be amazed to know that feldspar, which is an abundant mineral, makes up 41 percent of Earth’s continental crust. Having a translucent look, moonstone generally comes in colors of grey and white, however, you can also find moonstones in orange, blue, green, pink, and brown colors.
