Blue Moonstone Raw

Blue Moonstone Raw

Blue moonstone, also known as blue rainbow moonstone or simply blue labradorite, is a variety of feldspar mineral, similar to its more common cousin, the white moonstone. It originates primarily from Sri Lanka, India, Madagascar, and Myanmar.

In terms of appearance, blue moonstone exhibits a captivating blue adularescence, which is a phenomenon where light scatters off microscopic layers within the stone, producing a shimmering blue glow known as the schiller effect. This ethereal blue sheen can range from pale sky blue to deeper shades of blue, sometimes with hints of violet or green.

Blue moonstone typically has a milky or translucent appearance, with a smooth and polished surface. Its color play is best observed under certain lighting conditions, particularly when the stone is moved or tilted. Blue moonstone is commonly used in jewelry, especially in cabochon cuts to showcase its unique color play and adularescence. It is believed to possess metaphysical properties similar to those of other moonstone varieties, including enhancing intuition, promoting emotional balance, and encouraging inner growth and self-discovery.
