What is Moonstone?
Moonstone is feldspar with a soft bluish-white sheen, called adularescence, that seems to float beneath the surface. It comes from light scattering between microscopic layers of two different feldspars.
Sri Lanka and India are traditional sources. The "rainbow moonstone" sold in jewellery is technically a white labradorite, valued for its blue and multicolour flash.

Care & cleaning
Clean with lukewarm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then dry with a soft cloth. Store apart from softer stones to avoid scratches.
