The name Girasol is from the Italian word girasol, which means “turn towards the sun”.
It originally referred to the milky blue glass that was produced during the Renaissance in Venice, "Giraosle".
 
In Geology, the term girasol effect is used when a mineral exhibits an internal floating glow and starlight adularescence which is often golden yellow, blue, or white, and moves with light changes.
This can also refer to the haziness created by scattered light. Girasol is also known as Foggy Quartz, Pearl Quartz, Moon Quartz and even Moon Opal while it is not a type of opal, it resembles the translucent milkiness of opal.
 
The main difference between girasol quartz and clear quartz is that girasol quartz contains inclusions of other minerals that produces adularescence, while clear quartz does not. Girasol quartz is formed when hot water (or other fluids) containing silica and other minerals seeps into fractures or cavities in rocks. Over time, the water cools and evaporates, leaving behind deposits of quartz and other minerals.
