Gemstone Information

  • Rainbow moonstone is technically a variety of labradorite.
  • Rainbow moonstone is usually colorless with a blue or, in rare cases, it may have a rainbow-coloured sheen.
  • Rainbow moonstone deposits are found in Canada, Australia, India, Madagascar, Mexico, Myanmar (Burma), Russia, Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and the USA.
  • Rainbow moonstone is a member of the feldspar group, which makes up approximately 60% of the Earth's crust.
