Moonstone is an Orthoclase Feldspar, formed from cooling magmas  deep within the Earth . As the magmas cooled at differing speeds so thin layers of the minerals Albite and Orthoclase formed . As these minerals have different reflective indexes ,  light entering the stone is scattered  and diffused in many directions, creating the wonderful changes in colour, known as adularescence. The images wee taken under different lightng conditions.  Moonstone may be white , blue or pink in colour . 

Hindus and Roman myths suggested that moonbeams were captured and frozen in Moonstones, hence its magical appearance.Moonstone is the birthstone for Cancerians. and may improve intuition and creativity ,provide a calming effect .
