Moonstone chip necklace

A moonstone chip necklace with individual whitish-shimmering chips in their natural, fractured shape. The necklace is available in two lengths and is suitable as a decorative piece of jewelry or a healing stone necklace.

Moonstone is a variety of feldspar with the formula (K,Na)AlSi₃O₈ and a Mohs hardness of 6.25. The characteristic bluish-white shimmer is called adularescence. It is caused by the refraction of light on fine lamellar layers in the monoclinic crystal structure.

The classic deposits are in Sri Lanka and India, where moonstone occurs as an accessory mineral in pegmatites. Chip necklaces show the mineral in its irregular natural form and emphasize the organic fracture structure. Each chip sequence is unique.
