Moonstone Crystal Tower - 2.75-3.75 inch

This Moonstone Crystal Tower is polished into a faceted, single-terminated point with a soft white-to-cream body and the floating blue-white glow known as adularescence, which drifts across the surface as the piece is turned in the light. Each Tower is drawn from a lot, so the strength of the sheen and the exact size and weight vary from piece to piece. At this size it makes a calm, luminous display piece.

Moonstone is traditionally associated with Intuition and Spiritual Awareness, and carries a long lunar symbolism across many cultures. It is commonly kept for Sleep and Dreams work and for reflective, receptive practice, valued for its gentle, moon-linked character.

Geological Information
Moonstone is a feldspar, a potassium aluminium silicate, with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5 and a monoclinic crystal system. Its glowing blue-white adularescence is caused by light scattering between thin alternating layers of orthoclase and albite feldspar that form as the mineral cools, and the finest blue sheen in transparent material comes from Sri Lanka. The phenomenon is named adularescence after Adularia, a Moonstone locality in the Swiss Alps. The stone carried a lunar association in ancient Rome and Greece, where it was believed to form from solidified moonbeams, and it featured prominently in Art Nouveau jewellery through designers such as Lalique. This tower form is also sold as an Obelisk or a Point, all describing the same faceted, single-terminated cut. Principal sources include India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Madagascar, and Australia.
