Behold this breathtaking 9.40-carat Natural Rainbow Moonstone, a truly mesmerizing gemstone sourced from the rich, ancient mines of Rajasthan, India. This impressive oval cabochon, measuring 16.0mm x 9.1mm x 5.2mm, is a celestial marvel, combining substantial size with stunning optical performance.
The Magic of Adularescence and Firing: This particular stone exhibits an excellent lustre and "firing", which refers to its intense phenomenon known as adularescence. As you turn the gem, it flashes with a beautiful, shifting internal sheen that dances across the surface, revealing brilliant hues of electric blue, purple, and green. This full spectrum of color is what gives it the "Rainbow" distinction.
Rajasthan Quality: Moonstones from the mines of Rajasthan are noted for producing high-quality material that often yields cabochons with strong adularescence and good transparency, making them highly sought after by collectors and designers.
Rainbow Moonstone vs. Normal Moonstone: While both stones exhibit the internal glow of adularescence, they are actually different gem varieties. Traditional Moonstone is orthoclase feldspar and typically displays a soft, white-to-blue sheen. Rainbow Moonstone is a variety of labradorite (a plagioclase feldspar) that features a broader spectrum of vibrant colors—the "rainbow"—when viewed from different angles, thanks to the internal diffraction of light.
Significance & Benefits: Astrologically and spiritually, Rainbow Moonstone is deeply connected to feminine energy, intuition, and new beginnings. It is often referred to as the Traveler's Stone, believed to offer protection and guide one's spiritual journey. Its luminous glow is thought to enhance inner growth and strength.
