About Peach Moonstone
Peach moonstone is a warm-toned variety of feldspar known for its soft, shimmering appearance. Its color ranges from light apricot to rich peach, often accented by a silvery or pearly sheen caused by adularescence — the optical effect created when light reflects off microscopic layers within the stone. This gives peach moonstone a glowing, almost ethereal quality that shifts as it’s viewed from different angles.
Found in locations such as India, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar, peach moonstone is often cut and polished into cabochons, beads, or decorative pieces. Its combination of warm color and subtle iridescence makes it a popular choice for both jewelry and mineral collections.
