Albite Gemstone Beads Collection

What Is Albite?

Albite is a naturally occurring feldspar mineral prized for its soft luminous appearance, pearly luster, elegant white coloration, and crystalline mineral beauty. Albite ranges from snowy white and cream to silver-gray, translucent white, moonlike tones, and subtle pearly iridescence.

Albite belongs to the plagioclase feldspar family and is commonly found in granites, pegmatites, and metamorphic rocks throughout the world.

Some albite material displays soft shimmer or adularescent glow similar to moonstone because of light interacting within the feldspar crystal structure.

Because of its elegant neutral coloration and luminous appearance, albite is admired in jewelry, carvings, collector mineral specimens, and artisan gemstone designs.

With a Mohs hardness of approximately 6–6.5, albite is considered moderately durable for jewelry making and artisan beading projects.

At Tiny Gem Supply, we specialize in carefully curated albite gemstone beads ranging from delicate micro gemstone beads to luxurious collector gemstone strands for refined jewelry making and artisan beading designs.
