These minerals have different reflective indexes so light entering the stone is scattered and diffused in many directions creating the beautiful changes in colour known as adularescence with wonderful lines and patterns within the gemstone.
Hindu and Roman myths suggested that moonbeams were captured and frozen in Moonstones, hence its magical appearance. It was worn as an amulet by ancient travellers . It is regarded by many cultures as the stone of femininity and is the birthstone for Cancerians. It may improve intuition and creativity ,providing a calming effect
