Custom Wire Wrapped Moonstone Necklace/Pendant Sterling Silver
What is: Moonstone is a variety of the feldspar-group mineral orthoclase. During formation, orthoclase and albite separate into alternating layers. When light falls between these thin layers it is scattered producing the phenomenon called adularescence. Adularescence is the light that appears to billow across a gem. Moonstone is a birthstone for June, along with pearl and alexandrite. United States astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin ("Buzz") Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Since this and all other astronaut-controlled spaceflights had been launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, the Florida legislature sought to memorialize this "giant step" for humankind. In 1970, lawmakers adopted the moonstone as the official state gem.
Ironically, the moonstone, a form of the mineral feldspar, is not found naturally in Florida... nor was it found on the moon!
