MOONSTONE
LIWANAG NG DALUYAN
(Light in the Current)

INTERNATIONAL
Moonstone is a variety of feldspar, most commonly orthoclase or a combination of orthoclase and albite. Its signature glow—called adularescence—is a soft, floating light effect caused by the scattering of light between microscopic layers within the stone.

Mineralogical references used by the classify moonstone within the feldspar group, typically with a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5.

Historically, moonstone has been valued in:
*Ancient Roman and Indian jewelry
*Trade routes across Asia
*Art Nouveau design in the late 19th century

Across cultures (non-scientific symbolism), moonstone has been associated with:
*Intuition and inner reflection
*Cycles and transformation
*Emotional balance
*Feminine strength and renewal

Its shifting light resembles the phases of the moon—constant in presence, changing in appearance.
