Uncommon specimen with crystals of Feldspar var. moonstone from a limited find in Tanzania. Individual crystals to 1.8cm that 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 all the color in still photos - these are more colorful and attractive in person. Moonstone crystals are rare! Sawcut on base.
