The mystical glow in both Moonstone and the related gemstone Labradorite are from the mineral Feldspar, which is also found in meteorites on the moon. Most Moonstone comes from deposits in Sri Lanka. The luminous glow emanating from the core of the gem is reflective of the ethereal glow from the full, round moon. Recognizing this, the ancients called this gem Moonstone.

Feldspar, known as the building blocks of the Earth’s crust, is formed from a combination of nourishing minerals like potassium, sodium, and calcium. It is the occurrence of Feldspar that creates the opalescent shimmer we see in Moonstone. Moonstone can be found in different color tones of peach, gray, green, and white, always with its give-away sheen. Then there is Blue Flash, or Rainbow Moonstone.
