Graphic Feldspar is from the same family as moonstone. The stone is also sometimes called zebradorite, zebra feldspar, or graphic moonstone. This stone is a combination of moonstone and smoky quartz.
Feldspar is a group of minerals containing potassium, sodium, calcium and aluminum silicates. Feldspar was given its name by Johan Gottschalk Wallerius in 1747. The name feldspar is derived from German "feld," meaning "field" because some early specimens were found in fields and "spar, " a geological term for non-metallic minerals with a vitreous luster and good cleavage.

The alkali content in feldspar acts as a flux, lowering the glass batch melting temperature and reducing production costs. ~ Fire Mountain Gems

Moonstone is a traditional stone for attuning to the ebb and flow of the moon's energy. For this reason it can be helpful in stabilizing female cycles and can help males become attuned to the subtle hormonal shifts they experience during the moon phases.
