Description
Rainbow Moonstone is a popular gemstone in jewellery, known for its light body colour and attractive flashes of colour that appear when the stone is moved under light. Despite its trade name, much material sold as Rainbow Moonstone is actually a variety of labradorite, rather than traditional orthoclase Moonstone.
Its distinctive blue, multicoloured, or rainbow-like flashes are caused by light interacting with the gemstone’s internal structure. Natural stones may contain inclusions, cloudy areas, colour variations, and different intensities of flash, making each necklace unique.
In traditional crystal and gemstone practices, Rainbow Moonstone is associated with intuition, emotional harmony, calmness, inner awareness, protection, and personal transformation.
