The Magic of Moonstone Jewelry: A Guide to Understanding It's Colors and Meanings

3/6/2025

Moonstone has fascinated people for centuries with its soft, glowing shimmer—almost like holding a piece of moonlight in your hands. But did you know that moonstone comes in different colors, each with its own unique beauty and energy?

If you’ve ever wondered what makes moonstone so magical (or why some are pink while others are black or white), you’re in for a treat!

Why Does Moonstone Have Different Colors?

Moonstone belongs to the feldspar family, and its signature glow—called adularescence—comes from light scattering across microscopic layers within the stone.

The different colors of moonstone come from variations in its mineral composition. While the classic moonstone is milky white with a blue sheen, other varieties range from soft peach to deep black, each with its own unique charm.
