Oligoclase

[Kapitan_Prien]

I purchased this one and found it extremely helpful :smile:

The info is from Dragon's Crystal Reverie:

Oligoclase - It can be useful when dealing with issues of trust. It can help us to release our idea of our personal territory and allow us to trust more fully. It can help release our internal anger. It is a stone that can be useful on our journey to discover our inner self. It can stimulate our awareness and self awareness and can neutralize negativity.

what colour is it .. I always thought it was sunstone from the feldspar family .

This is 'clear'...not 'crystal clear' but that 'whitish-clear'.

Oligoclase is not a well known mineral but has been used as a semi-precious stone under the names of sunstone and moonstone. Me thinks its moonstone then .

It's not like Moonstone though.

It is a member of the Feldspar group though according to Mindat:

I have taken a photo of some of my crystals - but I will post it in Spiritlite's thread (the photos one) so you can see. It will be in 'link' since the photo is huge (I wanted to keep the detail). :-)
