Did you know that the technical name of rainbow moonstone is labradorite, and despite what it’s name would suggest, it’s actually not the same as true moonstone, which is technically called orthoclase.

They are related, and have similar looks, both seeming to give off an internal glow, flashes of colours, and their powers are very similar, however rainbow moonstone has an added energy that brings light into your mental and spiritual life, and will help guide you through difficult psychic situations, as well as a unique connection to the divine feminine.

The feminine energies of rainbow moonstone were popular in Ancient Rome, China, and India, and it remains an extremely well-loved stone for its unique look. In the ancient world, India was well-known for its beautiful rainbow moonstones, which were a huge source of wealth and prestige for those who had access to them.

Rainbow moonstone generally displays a blue or multi-coloured flash of colour like an Opal, which distinguishes it from other varieties of moonstone.

This blue colour and flashes represents the power of the full moon and rainbow moonstone over the psychic and spiritual world. When a full rainbow appears in a moonstone, it is an unmistakable sign of that stone’s incredible magical power.
