This is exactly where Adular comes into play: it is the mineral that moonstone is actually made of, but it is rarely found so natural and directly from the source area. Each of the three specimens shows its own personality—from the greenish-shimmering chlorite piece to the golden raw stone to the small crystal with tiny rainbow sparks in the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003eeffect\u003c\/strong\u003e is valued similarly to that of moonstone: for gentle intuition, emotional balance, and the connection to cyclical, feminine energies.

While commercially available moonstone usually comes from India or Sri Lanka and is often polished, these are natural, untreated raw stones from the original alpine region. The typical milky, shimmering play of color is created by fine intergrowths of two types of feldspar in the crystal lattice. This gives you the stone in its most original, untreated form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my Adular?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eAdular can be rinsed briefly with clear water, but should not remain wet for long periods, as feldspar can have fine cleavage cracks. You should avoid strong chemicals and ultrasonic baths. Direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the delicate hues over time—a shady spot is better. To charge it, consistent with its kinship to moonstone, especially gentle moonlight or a night next to a selenite plate is suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I know the play of color is natural?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eGenuine Adular shows its shimmer, known as adularescence, only at certain angles of light and appears more milky-bluish to golden, never garish or uniform like dyed glass. The chlorite inclusions in some of the pieces are distributed irregularly and appear like fine greenish clouds in the stone—a typical sign of naturalness. In artificially treated stones, this irregularity is usually completely absent, and the color often sits only on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy is Adular from the Ahrntal valley so rare on the market?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThe deposits in the Ahrntal valley in South Tyrol are small, difficult to access, and are not industrially mined like large moonstone mines in Asia.
