Moonstone & Sunstone Sphere

A spectacular Moonstone & Sunstone sphere weighing 471g, featuring beautiful natural patterning, warm earthy tones and an incredible blue flash that appears as the sphere moves through the light.

This substantial sphere brings together the soft, luminous character associated with Moonstone and the warmer tones of Sunstone, creating a piece that changes dramatically depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Across the polished surface are layers of smoky grey, cream, warm peach and golden-brown, with areas revealing a striking blue optical sheen.

At 471g, this is a substantial display piece and comes complete with a stand so it is ready to display.

Geological Information

• Mineral Group: Feldspar
• Material: Moonstone & Sunstone
• Hardness: Approximately 6–6.5 on the Mohs scale
• Form: Polished sphere

Moonstone and Sunstone are both members of the feldspar mineral family. Moonstone is particularly known for its optical sheen, often referred to as adularescence, which can create flashes of blue or silvery light as the stone is moved.

Sunstone is associated with warm peach, orange, golden and reddish tones and may display reflective optical effects caused by tiny mineral inclusions within the feldspar.

Metaphysical Properties

Moonstone and Sunstone are traditionally associated with:

• Intuition and inner guidance
• Confidence and personal power
• Emotional balance
• Joy and optimism
• New beginnings
• Balancing receptive and active energies

The combination of Moonstone and Sunstone is often chosen symbolically for balance, bringing together lunar and solar energy within a single piece.

Metaphysical properties are offered for spiritual interest only.
