Was ist Mondstein?

Moonstone is a feldspar mineral that is known for its special appearance. Its characteristic shimmer, which is known as adularescence, is created by the interplay of light within the stone.

When moonstone is formed, thin layers of liquid rock are deposited on top of each other, creating the characteristic colored optical effects. The light that hits the stone is scattered and appears on its surface as a fascinating, moving shimmer or in shades of blue or rainbow colors. These fascinating plays of color are particularly effective in a moonstone necklace. A necklace with moonstone shimmers with every movement and creates changing luminous effects when worn depending on the incidence of light.

There are also variations in delicate pink, peach, brown and shades of gray.

A particularly beautiful and rare variety is the Ceylon moonstone. The Ceylon moonstone is a translucent stone with a special translucent white shimmer.

The rainbow moonstone shines in different shades of color, which is how the stone got its name.

Strictly speaking, the gemstone known colloquially as moonstone or rainbow moonstone is actually a white labradorite from a gemological point of view.
