Composition: Rainbow moonstone is a type of feldspar mineral known as orthoclase, with a unique structure that scatters light to produce its characteristic iridescence. It is not to be confused with traditional moonstone, which typically displays a blue adularescence or sheen.
-
Play-of-Color: The mesmerizing play-of-color in rainbow moonstone results from the scattering of light by microscopic inclusions within the stone. This phenomenon creates a stunning array of colors, including blue, purple, pink, and sometimes hints of yellow or orange, which dance across the surface of the gemstone.
-
Translucency and Clarity: Rainbow moonstone is typically translucent to semi-translucent, allowing light to penetrate the stone and enhance its iridescence. Clarity can vary, with some stones exhibiting clearer play-of-color and others having more visible inclusions.
