“The Feldspar Group” Treasury on Etsy

Our rainbow sheen Labradorite mineral specimen looks so much prettier surrounded by these gorgeous and flashy feldspars in “The Feldspar Group” treasury collection. As much as I love the bright, neon color flash of Labradorite and Rainbow Moonstone, I’m partial to the Sunstone featured in this treasury by JunkDrawerToo, mostly because it’s so hard to find of this quality!
