Adularescence, a phenomena brought on by the internal structure of the gemstone, is the source of Moonstone enchantment. Moonstone's minuscule feldspar layers interact with light, diffracting and scattering it to produce the billowing moonlight glow. When the stone is moved, this captivating light play seems to dance and change. A moonstone's worth is mostly determined by its adularescence, with stones with more uniform and powerful adularescence selling for more money.
