Rainbow Moonstone Obelisk Point Natural Labradorite Crystal Tower
£ 21.00
RAINBOW MOONSTONE OBELISK POINT – NATURAL LABRADORITE FELDSPAR CRYSTALThis Rainbow Moonstone Obelisk Point is a genuine natural feldspar specimen
carved and polished into a standing obelisk form. Selected for its attractive internal flash and clarity, this piece showcases the iridescent optical effect that makes Rainbow Moonstone a favourite among mineral collectors and decorative crystal enthusiasts. The photograph shows the exact specimen you will receive. Please refer to the listing images for full sizing and proportions.This crystal is a genuine specimen and includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card. MINERAL TYPE & GEOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATIONRainbow Moonstone is the trade name commonly used for a variety of Labradorite, which belongs to the plagioclase feldspar group. Its chemical composition is generally expressed as:(Na,Ca)(Al,Si)₄O₈Labradorite crystallises in the triclinic crystal system. Despite the name, Rainbow Moonstone is not true orthoclase moonstone but a transparent to translucent labradorite displaying strong optical phenomena.With a Mohs hardness of approximately 6–6.5, labradorite is suitable for careful carving and polishing into decorative shapes such as obelisks and towers. OPTICAL PHENOMENON – LABRADORESCENCEThe defining feature of Rainbow Moonstone is its vivid internal flash, known as labradorescence. This optical effect may display:• Electric blue sheen• Multicolour spectral flashes• Silvery or pearly glowThese flashes occur due to light interference within microscopic layered structures formed during crystal growth. As light moves across the polished faces, the internal layers reflect and refract light, creating shifting colour displays.The obelisk’s flat faces and tapered point enhance this visual effect, allowing light to interact with the stone from multiple angles. Natural inclusions, internal veils, or slight colour zoning may also be visible, contributing to the uniqueness of each specimen. GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONLabradorite forms in igneous environments, particularly within slowly cooled intrusive rocks such as granite, gabbro, and pegmatite. During the cooling process, alternating layers of feldspar minerals form internally. These lamellar structures are responsible for the light interference that produces labradorescence.Feldspar minerals are among the most abundant in the Earth’s crust, but material displaying strong optical flash suitable for carving into decorative pieces is more limited and highly valued.Associated minerals may include quartz, mica, and other plagioclase feldspar varieties. OBELISK FORM & TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONSThe obelisk shape features a flat base for upright display and four polished sides tapering to a defined apex. This geometric design highlights both the mineral’s internal structure and its surface polish.Rainbow Moonstone is traditionally associated in spiritual symbolism with intuition and balance. These associations are cultural and symbolic rather than scientific.This Rainbow Moonstone Obelisk Point is ideal for:• Mineral and gemstone collections• Feldspar enthusiasts• Decorative home or office display• Meditation or symbolic spaces• Unique gemstone gifts AUTHENTICITY & INDIVIDUAL SELECTION• Genuine Rainbow Moonstone (Labradorite – Plagioclase Feldspar)• Crystal system: Triclinic• Notable feature: Labradorescent flash• Polished obelisk / tower point form• Natural internal inclusions and colour variations• Exact specimen shown in photographs• Includes Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic cardFormed through natural igneous processes and shaped into a refined obelisk point, this Rainbow Moonstone specimen combines geological interest with a striking and collectible optical display.
