COMMENTS :

No indications of heating, no indications of any other treatment

Adularescence is caused by the diffraction of light as it hits thin, alternating layers of orthoclase and albite within the gem. This produces the appearance of a floating, cloud-like, blue to white light inside the gem. A blue sheen is produced if the albite crystals are very fine. 

Personal Note From Natural Gems Belgium:

This milky white to clear with blue adularescence moonstone is all natural, and it's cut grade is good, symmetry is fair to good, polish is fair to good, luster is good.
