What is the difference between Moonstone - Rainbow Moonstone - Opal Moonstone and Opalite?  Rainbow Moonstone otherwise known as Moonstone is a true gemstone this is a white colour with occasional rainbow flecks within the gemstone. Opalite otherwise known as Opal Moonstone is in fact glass that has received a finishing treatment similar to gemstone treatments. It has a slightly blue translucent look that is quite distinctive. Often very confusing people may thing they are buying a gemstone when they are in fact buying glass.  Just to add to the confusion Opal is another gemstone which comes in a variety of colours including  Fire Opal.  Both make great jewellery pieces though and are both very popular choices and used frequently in handmade jewellery.
