There are two types of Moonstone that are commonly seen, normal Orthoclase Moonstone which will have a slight shimmer to it, and Rainbow Moonstone, which has rainbow, usually blue, colour flashes. Rainbow Moonstone is actually a white feldspar, and so a variety of Labradorite. There is a variety of Orthoclase Moonstone with a black colour, and a beautiful soft shimmer - this should not be confused with Labradorite however!

Moonstone is deeply connected to the energy of the moon, making it an excellent stone for emotional healing and intuition, helping to balance and calm emotions, providing a sense of inner peace and harmony. It enhances psychic abilities and intuition, allowing for deeper insights and a stronger connection to one's inner wisdom.

It is a stone of new beginnings and personal growth, encouraging self-discovery and transformation. Moonstone's gentle and nurturing energy provides support during times of change and emotional challenges.
