What is Moonstone?

Moonstone is a feldspar made of microscopic alternating layers of orthoclase and albite. Light scattering between these layers creates the soft floating glow called adularescence. The classic sources are Sri Lanka and India.

The stone sold as "rainbow moonstone" is technically a white labradorite (a different feldspar) with a colourful sheen. Romans believed moonstone was formed from moonlight, and moonstone was a favourite of Art Nouveau jewellers.
