Moonstone is a variety of orthoclase feldspar called Adularia, named for a locality in the Adula Mountains in Switzerland. The word Orthoclase is of Greek origin: orthos meaning “upright” and klasis meaning “fracture” describing the nature of the stone. Moonstone’s soft-looking, pearly sheen, referred to as Adularescence, is caused by light reflecting internally due to thin layer inclusions. The stones can be colorless, white or ivory, slivery-gray or bluish in color. Some specimens have a “layered” appearance while others are translucent, but all will have the distinguishing luster that gives the stone its common name. Some will even have rainbow effects. It is found in Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, Australia, Brazil and the U.S.A.
