Crushed Rainbow Moonstone with Biotite Mica Chips from India, Pea-Sized Gravel (2mm-4mm) for Resin Art, Embellishments or Succulent Gravel

Despite its name, rainbow moonstone is actually a type of white labradorite feldspar that commonly crystallizes with other minerals, such as biotite (mica) and tourmaline. Rainbow moonstone can have bright flashes of iridescent blue due to light waves interacting within the crystalline lattice; however, the moonstone flash is not preserved when the mineral has been progressively pulverized into tiny pieces. This particular crushed rainbow moonstone is bright white and has an even mix of dark brown/black biotite.

EXTRA LISTING INFORMATION

We prioritize providing high-quality materials for all artisans; therefore, our stones are natural and untreated unless otherwise specified. Photos may showcase both wet and dry crushed stone. Please note that wet stones can appear darker, which may resemble the finished look of the material after it's sealed with an adhesive.

We use the metric system for all size measurements, with units in millimeters (mm). Refer to the product photos for a visual guide using a metric ruler (cm/mm).
