ADULARIA FOR SALE

Adularia is a transparent to translucent variety of orthoclase feldspar, often displaying a delicate, pearly sheen known as adularescence, giving it a moonstone-like appearance. Typically white or colorless, it can also occur in shades of pale pink, gray, or green. Adularia crystals are usually small and tabular or blocky in shape, frequently exhibiting well-defined, sharp faces and a vitreous luster. This mineral forms at relatively low temperatures in hydrothermal veins and alpine clefts, often found alongside minerals like quartz, epidote, and chlorite. Named after the Adula Mountains in Switzerland, where it was first discovered, Adularia is prized for its delicate beauty and is sometimes used in jewelry. Its ethereal glow and gentle colors make it a favorite among collectors who appreciate its understated elegance and soothing aesthetic.
