Personal Note From Natural Gems Belgium:

This peach color (greyish orangey brown) moonstone is all natural, and it's cut grade is good, symmetry is fair to good, polish is good , luster is good.
Peach Moonstone is a variety of Moonstone. It is a potassium aluminum silicate feldspar. The color is usually a tan brown to a very light peach/pink. This change in color is believed to be caused from higher contents of aluminum within the feldspar’s chemical make-up
