Genuine golden feldspar. Natural orthoclase in champagne gold, kin to moonstone and sunstone, honestly named.

The clarity register. Modern practice keeps orthoclase for mental clarity, decluttering, and finding direction.

• Weight: approximately 1 lb per bag

• Origin: Peru; stone count varies by weight

Orthoclase does not appear in the classical correspondence sources under its own name, so we leave the formal fields blank and file its associations where they honestly sit, with modern practice. There it has gathered a coherent, modest reputation: the clarity feldspar, kept for clearing mental clutter, sorting what stays from what goes, and finding direction when a path has gone vague. Its family helps the reading make sense; feldspar is the house of moonstone's intuition and sunstone's confidence, and orthoclase sits between them in a plainer gold, the workday member of the lineage. A pound of it suits the way decluttering work actually goes: a stone on the desk through the sorting, one in the pocket through the deciding, and a few to give away with the things you released.

1. Cleanse them on arrival with smoke, sound, or moonlight.
2. Keep one on the desk through work that needs sorting, planning, or a decision.
3. Hold a piece and name what you are releasing before a declutter, of a room or a calendar.
4. Ring a candle working for direction when the next step has gone unclear.
5. Carry one through a crossroads season as a small, pale gold reminder to keep choosing.

• Moonstone Tumbled Stones, 1 lb: the intuitive elder of the same feldspar family.
• Sunstone Free Form, ~0.5 lb: the confident, flashing member of the lineage.
• Tumbled Black Obsidian Stones, 1 lb: releasing work's traditional companion stone.
• White Selenite Wand: a cleansing rest between workings.
• White Sage Smudge Stick: the arrival cleanse for a bag of stone.

Is this real opal?

No. The trade name opal orthoclase refers to the stone's soft, milky glow, not to precious opal. What you receive is genuine golden orthoclase feldspar, and we name it exactly that.

What is orthoclase kept for?

Mental clarity, decluttering, and direction, in modern practice. It has no entry in the classical sources under its own name, so we leave the formal correspondences blank rather than invent them.

How is it related to moonstone and sunstone?

All three are feldspars. Moonstone and sunstone are the famous glowing members of the family; orthoclase is their plainer golden kin, with a subtle sheen of its own in good pieces.

How many stones come in a pound?

It varies, since the bag is sold by weight in mixed sizes. Expect a generous handful in shades from champagne to gold.

How do I care for them?

Gently: smoke, sound, or moonlight to cleanse, and storage away from harder stones, since feldspar scratches more easily than quartz.
