Rainbow Moonstone | Tumbled

Rainbow moonstone is a variety of labradorite feldspar that exhibits a phenomenon called adularescence, displaying a shimmering, multicolored glow, often in blue, when light interacts with its internal structure. Despite its name, it is not a true moonstone, which belongs to the orthoclase feldspar group. It has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, making it moderately durable but sensitive to pressure and scratching. Rainbow moonstone is found in India, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, and Australia and is commonly used in jewelry and ornamental carvings.
