Rainbow Moonstone vs. Moonstone
Moonstone is an orthoclase feldspar. It has the chemical composition of KAlSi3O8 (potassium, aluminum, silicon, oxygen). Moonstone can be found in a variety of colors, including white, cream, gray, silver, peach, and black. While they do display adularescence, it is not a colorful flash like what you find in rainbow moonstone.
Rainbow moonstone is a plagioclase feldspar with the chemical composition of (Na,Ca)Al1-2Si3-2O8 (sodium, calcium, aluminum, silicon, oxygen). This is the same chemical composition as labradorite. Despite its name, rainbow moonstone is actually a type of white labradorite, which explains its labradorescence—a phenomenon also seen in labradorite. It often contains black tourmaline inclusions.
Like other feldspar gemstones such as amazonite and labradorite, rainbow moonstone is sensitive to chemicals, abrasives, heat, acids, and ammonia. Never use a steamer, hot water, or ultrasonic cleaners with this gemstone. Use mild soap and room-temperature water with a soft cloth to maintain the luster of the gemstone.
