caused by a similar mechanism but different chemical inclusions in Labradorite, and thus Rainbow Moonstone as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner glow of Rainbow Moonstone is caused by the refraction of light between layered minerals: this is the same mechanism that leads to the \u003cstrong\u003eiridescent Schiller Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e in

is a \u003cstrong\u003eplagioclase feldspar\u003c\/strong\u003e mineral, and is thus a form of \u003cstrong\u003eLabradorite\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfusingly, it is not technically a\u003cstrong\u003e traditional moonstone\u003c\/strong\u003e: instead, it can be referred to as \u003cstrong\u003eWhite Labradorite\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Difference Between Moonstone And Rainbow Moonstone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional moonstones and Rainbow Moonstones are very similar but crucially different. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth stones are \u003cstrong\u003efeldspar minerals\u003c\/strong\u003e and have the same hardness on the Mohs scale; both tend to have a creamy white base and both display a glowing, pearly sheen that looks like moonlight glowing from within the stone (a phenomenon known as \u003cstrong\u003eadularescence\u003c\/strong\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the two stones are two different types of feldspars: whilst traditional moonstone is an \u003cstrong\u003eorthoclase feldspar\u003c\/strong\u003e, Rainbow Moonstone is a \u003cstrong\u003eplagioclase feldspar\u003c\/strong\u003e like Labradorite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature flash of colour, like moon shine, from within moonstone is caused by Albite inclusions in traditional moonstone, however this\u003cstrong\u003e adularescent effect\u003c\/strong\u003e is caused by a similar mechanism but different chemical inclusions in Labradorite, and thus Rainbow Moonstone as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner glow of Rainbow Moonstone is caused by the refraction of light between layered minerals: this is the same mechanism that leads to the \u003cstrong\u003eiridescent Schiller Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e in Labradorite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the adularescence in traditional moonstone manifests in flashes of white, whilst the adularescence in Rainbow Moonstone manifests in spectacular

feldspar\u003c\/strong\u003e mineral, and is thus a form of \u003cstrong\u003eLabradorite\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfusingly, it is not technically a\u003cstrong\u003e traditional moonstone\u003c\/strong\u003e: instead, it can be referred to as \u003cstrong\u003eWhite Labradorite\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Difference Between Moonstone And Rainbow Moonstone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional moonstones and Rainbow Moonstones are very similar but crucially different. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth stones are \u003cstrong\u003efeldspar minerals\u003c\/strong\u003e and have the same hardness on the Mohs scale; both tend to have a creamy white base and both display a glowing, pearly sheen that looks like moonlight glowing from within the stone (a phenomenon known as \u003cstrong\u003eadularescence\u003c\/strong\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the two stones are two different types of feldspars: whilst traditional moonstone is an \u003cstrong\u003eorthoclase feldspar\u003c\/strong\u003e, Rainbow Moonstone is a \u003cstrong\u003eplagioclase feldspar\u003c\/strong\u003e like Labradorite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature flash of colour, like moon shine, from within moonstone is caused by Albite inclusions in traditional moonstone, however this\u003cstrong\u003e adularescent effect\u003c\/strong\u003e is caused by a similar mechanism but different chemical inclusions in Labradorite, and thus Rainbow Moonstone as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inner glow of Rainbow Moonstone is caused by the refraction of light between layered minerals: this is the same mechanism that leads to the \u003cstrong\u003eiridescent Schiller Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e in Labradorite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the adularescence in traditional moonstone manifests in flashes of white, whilst the adularescence in Rainbow Moonstone manifests in spectacular flashes of blue, and sometimes other colours of the rainbow (hence the name \u003cstrong\u003eRainbow Moonstone\u003c\/strong\u003e). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsequently, these

Legend\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Roman and Greek mythology, moonstones were sacred to their \u003cstrong\u003elunar goddesses\u003c\/strong\u003e, of which there are many but include Diana and Luna, Roman \u003cstrong\u003egoddesses of the moon\u003c\/strong\u003e, and Artemis and Selene, Greek goddesses of the

Greek goddess associated with the moon, much in the same way the mineral \u003cstrong\u003eselenite\u003c\/strong\u003e is named after Selene, a \u003cstrong\u003egoddess of the moon\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Romans believed that moonstones were created from rays of moonlight, as did the people of India, where moonstones were sacred
