MOONSTONE takes its name from its ghostly glow, like moonlight. The light is scattered by alternating layers of two kinds of feldspar and produces a misty luster of white, dull yellow, yellow-gray or greenish-gray. The stone's main color also comes in shades of peach and gray.
The Romans thought moonstone was formed out of moonlight and began wearing it in jewelry around 100 A.D.
