I would like to share my experience with my new moonstone ring, I had this for just 2 weeks now and I didnt know it is good for wishes but so many things already happened in my life. I got my 2nd job, I just got my drivers license, my amex credit limit has increased without me requesting it and my dad will buy a new car next week(that I can borrow 😊) I mean its not just me getting all the good news but also people around me which is just amazing. I am planning on buying a moonstone bracelet soon. I am cancer born in June by the way. They say Moonstone is great for Cancer Libra Scorpio Pisces. ❤

To me the milky one is the most unique. The clear ones look cheap.

I love moonstones. I have a lot of those. In India, you can find amazing moonstones. I prefer rough ones!!

Even though they are technically made from the same material as other moonstones, most jewelers do not classify "Rainbow Moonstone" as part of the moonstone family. Instead, they refer to it as "Labradorite" instead. I really do not understand why this is the case, but I guess it is what it is. Just to be careful and something to look out for if you are in the market for a moonstone and someone tries to pass labradorite off as a moonstone. Again, if you really don't care, then go ahead and love your new jewelry!

It gets especially tricky when people try to sell labradorite as a natural blue moonstone (which is one of the most valuable of all moonstones). If you can, demand certification before you buy from both online and in person! Gray is my personal favorite.

Great I am cancer and I bought a ring of moon stone according to my chakras and I had a doubt on it but it has no cracks in super soft I wore once before charging the stone it calmed me and I got positive results since in my periods I have not put on instead later I am writing these cause I thought it was fake but not and it's from srilanka thank you for share god bless you.

Moonstone is my favourite gemstone, it's odd how relatively unknown it is, quality pieces are spectacular. It's also relatively affordable if you know where to go. Don't mind the obscurity of it tbh, more to go around lol. I do find it odd because of how unknown it is I guess, you sometimes see upalite mislabeled as moonstone or really ugly dull grey pieces sold in upscale mainstream stores. So far I've only found good pieces from small business or in the sterling jewelry section of Lovisa where they don't seem to know how to market the beauty of the stone lol.

A “gemologist” huh? She forgot to mention that rainbow moonstone IS a type of LABRADORITE (white labradorite), it’s not genuine moonstone like she said it is.


Rainbow Moonstone, also known as White Labradorite, is actually a variety of Labradorite that exhibits flashy colors and rainbows throughout. The name “Rainbow Moonstone” was coined by the lapidary and mineral communities to describe this stone, even though it's not an Orthoclase (Moonstone).

[RicardoReyes]

I'm a little confused. I heard rainbow moonstone isn't really a moonstone.

I'm a dumb guy and have no idea what I'm doing. I just know I want to get my gf an engagement ring with her birthstone and moonstone is it for September.

[monikamoran]
