Rainbow Moonstone | Beaded Bracelets

Milky white with scattered black inclusions and unexpected flashes of electric blue, rainbow moonstone is one of those stones that really comes alive when it catches the light. Each bead is completely different—some cloudy and soft, others nearly translucent, with little windows of iridescent color appearing as they move. Finished with silver details and our Often Wander charm. A fun bit of geology: rainbow moonstone is actually a trade name for a pale variety of labradorite, part of the feldspar family. The blue flashes aren't pigment inside the stone—they're created when light interacts with incredibly thin microscopic layers within the feldspar, producing an optical effect called labradorescence. That's why the blue seems to suddenly appear, disappear, and move as you turn the bracelet. Rainbow moonstone is traditionally associated with intuition, transformation, and new beginnings. Due to the natural characteristics of the stone, each bracelet will vary in its markings, inclusions, translucency, and amount of blue flash. Handmade in San Francisco, CA.
