Moonstone Physical Properties 

Moonstone is a Feldspar, which are common in the earths crust. Moonstone (or orthoclase) is the low temperature pure potassium end member of the alkali group of feldspars. It is the opalescent variety of orthoclase, with a blue or white sheen, hence its name like the shine of the moon. This is due to the alternating layers of orthoclase and albite feldspar that cause a reflection of light. It forms in lots of metamorphic and igneous rocks, and can also occur in some sedimentary rocks. Group SILICATES, Composition KalSi3O8, Hardness 6.0-6.5, Crystal structure MONOCLINIC
