About Rainbow Moonstone
Despite its name, Rainbow Moonstone is actually a white or clear variety of Labradorite, a feldspar mineral closely related to traditional Moonstone. What sets Rainbow Moonstone apart is its ethereal blue, peach, or rainbow-coloured flashes, which shimmer across its surface due to light interference within its layered structure—a phenomenon known as adularescence.
Rainbow Moonstone is a stone of light, intuition, and divine feminine energy. With a Mohs hardness of 6–6.5, it is sturdy enough for jewellery and ritual use, though care should be taken with sharp impacts. This luminous stone is primarily mined in India, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar, with Indian material often being the most prized for its vivid blue sheen and clarity.

Rainbow Moonstone is a light-bringer, aligning your energy field with higher frequencies of inspiration, grace, and divine timing. It amplifies intentions related to intuition, psychic development, emotional healing, and new beginnings.
It’s a favourite for new moon rituals, meditations, and manifestation work focused on aligning with the soul's highest timeline. This crystal helps you stay attuned to signs and synchronicities, guiding you to take aligned action even when logic hasn’t caught up with your intuition.
Rainbow Moonstone also helps clear the aura and protect against negative energies or psychic interference, making it ideal for energy workers, tarot readers, and spiritual seekers. It’s often paired with Selenite, Amethyst, or Black Tourmaline to anchor its light into grounded practice.
Physical Healing Properties
Rainbow Moonstone is believed to support hormonal balance, fertility, and menstrual health, making it a well-loved stone for those working with the divine feminine, womb wisdom, or reproductive healing. It is also said to help regulate emotional cycles and calm PMS, mood swings, and stress-induced tension.
Because it resonates with the Crown and Third Eye Chakras, it may aid in mental clarity, sleep, and dream recall, especially when placed under a pillow or used during evening meditations. Healers often use Rainbow Moonstone to ease emotional trauma held in the body and to support recovery from emotional burnout or spiritual fatigue.
Its cooling, gentle energy makes it ideal for those with high sensitivity, anxiety, or energetic overload—offering relief without overwhelming the system.
