Black moonstone is an uncommon and attractive moonstone variety, which is one of the feldspar minerals family. Black moonstones are different from the usual white or peach ones.

The optical effect appears to move through the stones' surface once it absorbs light which gives the black moonstone an eerie and ethereal look.
