Not technically a moonstone at all, but rather a member of the labradorite family; rainbow moonstone is treasured by many for its mysterious glow and flash of color referred to as adularescence. We find an understanding of how this crystal works to harness energy through this unique physical attribute. When light hits the surface of the crystal it does not simply reflect back its amazing color show. The light enters the transparent surface and bounces between the layers within the mineral. The movement of color we see is coming from within the stone and not from the surface. This is exactly how the crystal works on an energetic level as well.

When we work with rainbow moonstone, it is difficult to not feel inspired. This crystal lends the feeling that all things are possible. It brings awareness to all of our surrounding energy, draws in and strengthens our own energy, and then amplifies all that we are already working with. This crystal inspires the idea that we are made of magic. We are capable of anything. It strengthens our will, creativity, and personal power by enhancing all that we are and reflecting it in such a way that it can’t be avoided. The inspiration and beauty we feel when working with rainbow moonstone is the energy reflecting from within ourselves.
