Moonstone bead strands with a soft, glowing sheen known as adularescence. Shop wholesale natural stone beads online.
Moonstone is a feldspar mineral recognised for adularescence, a soft, glowing light effect that appears to float just beneath the stone’s surface as it catches the light. This gives moonstone a luminous, almost milky quality unlike the sharper sparkle of faceted stones. Bellaire Wholesale stocks moonstone bead strands suited to designs built around that soft glow, from simple strands to pieces mixed with other natural stones.
Combine moonstone with findings and other strands from natural stones to complete a design.

FAQs
What is moonstone?
Moonstone is a feldspar mineral known for adularescence, a soft, glowing light effect that appears to move beneath the surface of the stone.
What causes moonstone’s glow?
The effect comes from light scattering between thin layers within the stone’s internal structure, creating its characteristic soft sheen.
What colour is moonstone?
Moonstone is most commonly pale white, grey, or cream, though the glow effect is the stone’s defining feature rather than a bold colour.
What jewellery suits moonstone beads?
Its soft, luminous tone works well in both delicate minimalist designs and as an accent within bolder multi-stone pieces.
Is moonstone the same as opal?
No. Both show internal light effects, but moonstone’s adularescence is a soft, single-tone glow, while opal typically shows flashes of multiple colours.
