Facts about Moonstone
The moonstone gemstone is a type of feldspar. When feldspar forms with potassium it is translucent and pearl like in appearance and is known as a moonstone. This form of feldspar was given the name moonstone as it resembles the moon.
The base color of the stone may be white, orange, yellow, gray or clear. The gemstones are easily scratched or broken as they are soft and brittle so must be handled with care.
The moonstone has been used in jewelry for many centuries, often representing the moon in the pieces.
