New find of crystallized moonstone from Tanzania. The larger crystals are 2.5cm and display a 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, with
large interlocking crystals in a compact cluster. Moonstone crystals are rare!
