White Labradorite or Peristerite India A (raw stone)

Peristerite is a stone with great controversy over its name. In fact, it is commercially called “white labradorite” Or “rainbow moonstone” . However, they are not the same stones. They are often confused because they belong to the feldspar group.

For the record, Feldspar is the most abundant mineral group in the earth's crust at more than 50%. It is part of the composition of many rocks of volcanic, igneous or metamorphic origin.

However, mineralogically speaking, peristerite is very different from moonstone. Chemically and visually, they do not have the same characteristics while having fairly similar properties.

Thus, there are no legends specific to peristeritis. In fact, legends and myths mainly concern moonstone.

Peristerite is a mixture of albite and oligoclase composed of sodium and calcium aluminosilicate. This variety of albite presents a peristerescence effect (shimmering under the surface of the stone): these are iridescences due to a play of light in an alternation of very thin layers of albite and oligoclase. These iridescences are also called the 'Schiller effect': they have a blue mirror effect.

Peristerite forms in igneous rocks, magmatic rocks, mainly in pegmatites (magmatic rocks with large crystals), but also in metamorphic rocks and in hydrothermal veins.

This stone has a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale (for example: the diamond has a maximum hardness of 10 on the same scale). Peristerite has a triclinic crystal system.

The main deposits are in India, Canada, USA, Mexico, China, etc.
