This enchanting gemstone belongs to the large mineral group of the feldspars, of which almost two thirds of all the rocks on Earth consist. The moonstone is actually the feldspar variety known as 'adularia', a potassium aluminosilicate of gemstone quality, which is also found in the European Alps near the Adula Group – hence the name 'adularia'. Another synonym for moonstone is 'selenite', from the Greek 'selene' ('moon').
Or, try ebay.

Moonstone is a semi-precious mineral. Try to find a place that sells some on the internet.

A version of transparent or translucent feldspar, customarily cut en cabochon. The stone possesses a sheen known as adularescence, which comes from the stone's alternating layers of albite that diffuse light over the dome. The finest varieties display a bluish sheen on their surface, while the commoner versions with thicker layers of albite produce a whiter sheen.
