How It is Created: Moonstone is a type of feldspar composed of potassium aluminum silicate. It can be found in a number of colors, but all examples demonstrate a particular sheen known as labradorescence; an effect also found in labradorite and blue moonstone. Labradorescence is a light effect caused by parallel hairlike structures laid down within the crystal matrix, which reflect light back and forth, creating different-colored effects, including blue, yellow, silvery gray, and white.

History: Moonstone is the sacred stone of India. During the earliest traditions, the gem was said to have been embedded in the forehead of Ganesh, the four-handed god of the moon, since the beginning of time. It was written in Hindu mythology that moonstone is made from moonbeams, thus its luster.

The magnificent gem is never displayed outside for sale unless placed on a yellow cloth, as yellow is a sacred color. According to other legends, Moonstone can give gifts of prophecy and clairvoyance to the wearer. It could also clear the mind for the wearer to welcome wisdom. But to unlock this ability, Moonstone must be placed in their mouths during the full moon. Since ancient Egypt it is considered as a spiritual stone as it is seen as the gem of protection for night travelers.

Since Moonstone looks a lot like the moonshine, ancient Romans believed that it was formed from moonlight. If you look at the gem closely, you’ll see a dance of light that lurks on the insides of the gem. Ancient Greeks merged the names of the goddess of love (Aphrodite) and the goddess of the moon (Selene) and christened Moonstone as “Aphroselene”. While the Romans believed that the gem exhibits the image of their moon goddess, Diana.

It is also known as an aphrodisiac and when worn by two people, they will fall passionately in love when the moon is high. Moonstone was once called the “Travelers Stone” as it is said to protect those who travel at night, especially at sea.

What It Can Do:

When worn, can attract true love and arouse passion

If you give your lover a moonstone during the full moon, there will be passion between you always

Can settle disagreements and return things to peaceful status

Sewn into garments can enhance fertility

Wearing moonstone protects sensitive emotions

Enhances divination, prophetic dreams and prevents nightmares

Great for meditation and scrying

Represents yin and attracts peaceful energy

Protects travelers at night and by sea

Considered good luck

Balances male-female energies and aids men who want to get in touch with their feminine side

Affects the female reproductive cycle and alleviates menstrual-related diseases and tensions

Helps with digestive and reproductive systems, assimilates nutrients, eliminates toxins and fluid retention, and alleviates degenerative conditions of the skin, hair, eyes and fleshy organs such as the liver and pancreas.

How to Get the Best Out Of: Wear as a ring or place on the appropriate body part, would recommend the forehead, for spiritual experiences, and solar plexus or heart for emotions. Women may need to remove Moonstone at full moon.

How to Cleanse and Charge: Moonstone is relatively soft stone, 6 on the Mohs scale, so it should be handled with care as it can be easily scratched or crushed. Moonstone should be stored separate from other jewelry in its own soft bag or lined box and should not be worn while performing strenuous tasks that could result in it getting bumped or scratched. It can be cleaned with plain water and a soft cloth. If it gets scratched, take it to a jeweler to have it polished out.

Charge your moonstone in the light of the waxing moon and keep it out of direct sunlight.

Mineral Swag Semifinals: Labradorite vs. Opal

Labradorite (Ca,Na)(Al,Si)4O8): Feldspar mineral. Triclinic crystal system. Color is brown to gray with iridescence typically being green to blue (with rare yellows and pinks). Two strong directions of cleavage. Vitreous luster. White streak. ~6 on Mohs hardness scale. Labradorite's brand of iridescence is known as labradorescence.

Opal (SiO2·nH2O aka hydrated silica): Mineraloid. No crystal system. Typically colorless with iridescence showing many colors. No cleavage. Pearly or waxy luster. White streak. ~6 on Mohs hardness scale. Comes in many varieties.

[image description: A wildly opalescent oval with a sweet vaguely-feline face, eyes closed and a purple/violet gem on its forehead. Text reads, “ #260, LAMELLA, SMALL GOD OF OPALESCENCE”]

• • • • •

Whether refraction or reflection, opalescence is beautiful: no one can deny that.  It transforms something simple into something infinitely complex, layered and deep in ways that can defy description.  It’s not the only effect of its kind—aventurescence is spoken less frequently, and labradorescence less frequently even than that—but it’s the one everyone knows, the one pursued in children’s playsets and in countless shades of nail polish.

There are many complex, scientific explanations for the phenomenon of opalescence, but for most, it seems like magic, and where magic and physics are invoked together, gods are born.

Lamella isn’t inherently a good god or a bad god.  They don’t care about morality.  We’re not sure they even understand what it is.  They’re a god of appearances, of the surface of things and the deep structures that support that surface.  They just want things to be beautiful.

Blood can be beautiful, before it dries.  So can a butterfly’s wings in the sun.  Lamella loves them both equally, and they will not save you.

Remember that when something shimmers.  When it shines.

Monday's Mineral: Feldspar Gemstones

Ah, gemstones, one of the banes of my existence as geologist. Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate their beauty but all the silly trade names that gemologists come up with for varieties of the same mineral drive me up the wall.

Anyway, feldspars can be gemstone quality if they are not broken down by natural processes first. There's only a couple that really matter: kspar, albite, and labradorite.

Moonstone is probably the most "valuable" of these gems. It is sometimes known as adularia due to it's adularescence (moonshine effect). This is caused by the orientation of albite crystals within orthoclase. It is usually colorless or white.

Sunstone resembles moonstone but has a golden color and a warm, shiny, golden adularescence. This is an albite gemstone, as is aventurine. Aventurine has a characteristic appearance of aventurescence, or a sparkly, metallic look.

Labradorite is a mixed plagioclase feldspar that exhibits labradorescence, reflected light caused by characteristic polysynthetic twinning of the mineral.

Finally, there is Amazonite, a microcline gemstone that usually green or light blue-green in color. It often exhibits perthite texture seen as white lines. Perthite texture occurs with exsolution or unmixing.

Labradorite is a variety of feldspar discovered in Labrador, Canada in 1770. Although it's somewhat fragile, it was popular for use in jewelry in the 19th century, particularly in Europe. It was prized for its unique iridescent optical effect, which was later coined as "labradorescence."

From LinkedIn - Rui Galopim de Carvalho

Moonstone is the collective name for the iridescent varieties of a selected group of feldspars, namely adularia (orthoclase) and iridescent peristerite (albite-oligoclase) and, also, anorthoclase and antiperthite that may also show similar optical effects and may also be classified as moonstone in the trade. The term has also been used to describe colourless iridescent (labradorescent) andesine-labradorite feldspar known in the trade as "rainbow moonstone". The amount of above-mentioned complex mineral names and concepts prove that commercial names are indeed very practical when communicating gem products outside the academic and science worlds. The most common variety as a gemstone is adularia moonstone, typically colourless to white coloured, sometimes yellow or grey, that is most prized when exhibiting adularescence (or peristerescence), the so-called schiller effect. This optical effect is caused by a combination of light scattering from very tiny particles (the so-called tyndall effect) and iridescence caused by thin film interference in twinning planes. Historically known in Austria, it is found in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Tanzania, India, Madagascar and USA (New Mexico).

Many years ago I attended the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. It is the largest gem show in the world and is actually a series of shows sponsored by various organizations. It lasts the month of February every year. Dealers come from all over the world. It's quite a feast for the mineral, gemstone, and fossil lover. You'll see things there you won't likely see anyplace else. The piece of jewelry that won first place in that year's competition was a rainbow moonstone necklace in gold. The moonstones were all pear shaped and graduated in size. The photos of it were amazing. But when I saw the actual piece in the AGTA showcase, it seemed to float in its display. I've never seen anything so remarkable.

Summary: Izuku was on a mission to observe, catalog, and study the planet Alara along with a small group of researchers and guards. He was brought on this mission as a last resort, an afterthought, compared to his comrades. He was the only doctor in the association to have been to Alara before, so it was just easier to add him to the group rather than get another doctor. He was the only one who understood the native wildlife and its anatomy. Most days it seemed like he was the only one who cared.Especially when it came to his Kacchan.

Mineral Swag Quarterfinals: Shiny and Colorful

I'll never get over hematite beating bismuth. I love you all so much.

Hematite LITERALLY has hidden depths. It looks like a plain black or grey or red stone but SURPRISE! Its powder is red NO MATTER WHAT. It’s named for BLOOD, it's full of iron, and it oxidizes into fun colors!

It can also form these blobular (botryoidal) crystals.

Labradorite is a feldspar that has these iridescent flashes at certain angles. This iridescent property is sometimes called labradorescence after the mineral. Like opal, light diffracts off of microscopic surfaces within a labradorite crystal. These planes are all oriented in one direction in labradorite (while they go all different directions in opal).

Anorthite, the calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar, also has this iridescence, so there is a lot of debate about whether these are the same mineral or not. Either way, feldspar representation in the poll! Feldspars are the most abundant mineral on earth!

[pink-nubes]

nube what are ur favorite rocks (or crystals)??

Oh, I don't know much about rocks or crystals, but I like the ones that have that optical illusion that makes them "glow" (Adularescence, Iridescence, labradorescence....) So basically things like moonstone, opal, fire agate, and labradorite.
