New find of crystallized moonstone from Tanzania. Individual crystals display a satiny blue color when turned under lighting.
This 'Schiller effect' of color is seen at different angles on the different crystals and was therefore not possible to catch
in still photos and this is more colorful and attractive in person. Sawcut on back. Moonstone crystals are rare!
