Recent find of crystallized moonstone from Tanzania. The larger crystals are 2.5cm and display a faint, satiny blue color across the top surface. This 'Schiller effect' is seen when you turn the crystal under lighting. One of the nicer specimens of these I've had in terms of crystal form with sharp, distinct crystals. Moonstone crystals are rare!
