100% natural rainbow moonstone beads.

Moonstone is a gemstone that has been used in jewelry for centuries. Its unique iridescent sheen resembles the light of the moon, hence its name. Moonstone is made of two feldspar minerals, orthoclase and albite, in fine alternating layers. Moonstone has a Mohs hardness rating of 6-6.5 so it's relatively hard but care should be taken against abrasions.

In metaphysical belief, moonstone is associated with success, good fortune, and wisdom. It is also traditionally associated with peace, harmony, and balance.

Truly Outstanding Rainbow Beads

I wanted for quite a while to create “Luna” pendant necklaces for my daughters to honor the memory of my grandmother who grew up in Victorian England and whose maiden name was “Moon.” She was fond of the moon motif in art and jewelry. As a young child, I was fascinated by semi-precious gemstones where light interacted with the internal structure of the stone to create special visual effects and movement, which I associated with the changing appearance of the moon as Earth’s atmosphere created lunar halos and reflections in nocturnal clouds, or as shifting shadows from fall clouds drifted past the moon’s face. At Tejas beads, I found exactly what I was seeking to design a Luna necklace: two varieties of Rainbow Moonstone, Labradorite, Mother of Pearl, White Jade, faceted Hematite, and antique silver beads. I have one necklace made, one more to fashion.
