Moonstone (~1.9 centimeters across at its widest)
The term “moonstone” has been used to refer to various materials, but properly refers to iridescent whitish-gray feldspar. The bluish-white shimmering effect is the result of light being split along the boundaries between closely intergrown feldspars having varying sodium content.
Green Hill section of South Kingston, Rhode Island - USA
For decades this was the last and only nude beach on the east coast of the United States. It was popular, unassuming and visited by anyone that simply enjoyed the au naturel life-style. Eventually the “powers-that-be” passed laws to deny people the right to be seen “as they were created” and forced an end to the practice. People fought to keep it open but were up against the state and town legal machinery. I can’t help thinking of the old saying, “You can’t fight city hall”.
Of all the species that have walked planet earth for hundreds of millions of years, only mankind was able to turn nakedness into a crime. Go figure.
