Yeppers Ed! It is entirely possible, however, not like the crystalline Oregon Sunstone, but is more the orthoclase and oligoclase type. I will have a firm ID soon, but for now, it's more safe to called it a pink moonstone. Jo

Well, they sure all look great! I think that last one is standing out a bit though. Lots of depth! Fran

Yepper-oonie! Through rain, and sleet, and even snow! LOL. Plus warm spring rains and bright blue sky and puffy clouded days. I kept looking for new colors, patterns, flash. Visited about 10 parks in the area and 8 of them had moonstone in the streams! It's been fascinating seeing how it varies from place to place.
Chick-a-dee out.

as I'm scrolling, I'm drooling and when I hit that triangular one with the heaping scoop of druzy on top I felt like a kid in an Ice cream parlor.
