Moonstone, the milky and pearly variety of orthoclase, shines with a blue or white sheen. The creamy translucent aura and soft glowing appearance are created by the reflection of light from the internal layer of two minerals: albite and orthoclase feldspar. The attractive colour looks like the moon's shine, after which it is named.

Moonstone is believed to possess natural feminine energy and is said to attract prosperity and love. It can also help girls regulate their menstruation and improve their fertility. We also really love the gem for its mysterious play of light.
