Rainbow moonstone is a luminous, enchanting gemstone celebrated for its ethereal glow and mystical energy. Although commonly called moonstone, it is technically a variety of white labradorite (a feldspar mineral) known for its shimmering optical effect called labradorescence. This phenomenon creates flashes of blue, rainbow-like colors that shift as the stone moves, giving it a dreamy, otherworldly appearance.
