One of the most outstanding newer materials that we have seen in recent years. This unique example contains just a few of the classic ‘lattice’ morphology inclusions of hematite and a large number of the sunstone platelet-type. What really sets this material apart though is that the gem being included in orthoclase feldspar - that is to say, 'Moonstone' with its full adularescent qualities intact. So you have this great looking piece that can surprise when rotated - the billowy effect of Moonstone flashing across the surface. So great, we wish these were more readily available in such nice quality.
