Blue Moonstone

per 8mm bead
The flash only shows at the right angle — which is the point.
The blue flash in moonstone is adularescence: light scattering between microscopically thin layers of feldspar, with nothing applied to the surface. In crystal tradition moonstone is the stone of timing rather than force — the sheen only appears at the right angle, and there is no way to hurry it. Turn the bead and it disappears.
