AgeVaries by deposit
Origin & sourcesHistorically Meetiyagoda, Sri Lanka, where top-quality blue material is now rare. Also India and Myanmar.
CompositionAdularia feldspar with especially thin, regular albite layers

How it forms

When the feldspar layers are extremely thin, they scatter mostly blue light (like a blue sky), giving the prized blue adularescence. Many 'blue moonstones' on the market are dyed, glass imitations or labradorite.
