{"product_id":"blue-moonstone-bracelet-super-high-53091","title":"Blue Moonstone Bracelet 5mm — Faceted Rainbow Sheen Beads","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003emoonstone bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e is strung from \u003cstrong\u003e5 mm faceted rondelle beads\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the faceting is doing something specific. Where a smooth polished moonstone gives you one broad drifting glow, cut facets break that light into dozens of small flashes, so the \u003cstrong\u003eblue sheen\u003c\/strong\u003e seems to travel around your wrist as you move rather than sitting still. It's a livelier effect than most moonstone jewellery, and the bracelet is made up at \u003cstrong\u003e7 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth clearing up, because the trade names cause real confusion: is rainbow moonstone actually moonstone? Not strictly. Classic moonstone is a variety of orthoclase feldspar, while what the market calls \u003cstrong\u003erainbow moonstone\u003c\/strong\u003e is a white \u003cstrong\u003elabradorite\u003c\/strong\u003e, a close cousin in the same feldspar family. They're genuinely different minerals with the same optical trick behind them, that milky floating blue caused by light bouncing between microscopically thin internal layers. Nobody is being misled here, the name is simply industry shorthand, but you deserve to know exactly what's on your wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat floating glow has a proper name, \u003cstrong\u003eadularescence\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it isn't a colour in the stone at all. There's no blue pigment in moonstone. The layers inside scatter short wavelengths back at your eye, which is the same reason the sky reads blue, so the effect shifts depending on where the light sits and where you stand. Traditionally moonstone is a stone of \u003cstrong\u003eintuition\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003enew beginnings\u003c\/strong\u003e and emotional steadiness, often given at the start of something, and it's the modern \u003cstrong\u003eJune birthstone\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rainbow moonstone, a white labradorite feldspar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeads:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 mm faceted rondelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Near colourless with blue adularescent sheen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChakras:\u003c\/strong\u003e Third eye and crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlso linked to:\u003c\/strong\u003e June birthstone, Cancer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWearing your moonstone bracelet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeldspar is softer than quartz, roughly 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, and it has natural cleavage planes, meaning a sharp knock in the wrong direction can chip a bead where a quartz would shrug it off. Nothing to worry about in ordinary wear, but treat it as jewellery rather than something to garden in. Take it off before showering, keep it away from household cleaners, and wipe it with a soft damp cloth. Store it on its own so harder beads can't scuff the facets, and the sheen stays crisp for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
