RAINBOW LATTICE
Rainbow Lattice is a very rare and unusual stone. It is a type of feldspar which is predominantly
Moonstone that is made up of 75% orthoclase and 25% albite.
The inclusions (internal features) are referred to as: the result of crystalographically oriented exsolution crystals within the feldspar mass.
Whilst the initial testing of the stones inclusions conducted in 1989 concluded that the inclusions were made up of ilmenite (for the black blades and triangles) and hematite (for the orange platelets).
With the advancement in technology over the last 3 decades, a recently conducted more in depth analysis has found the black blades and triangle inclusions in Rainbow Lattice to be magnetite.
A paper with these results will be published soon by authors from the the Gemmological Institute, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) and it will be published in The Journal of Gemmology by Gem-A.
- Hematite (Fe2O3) - small, yellow to deep orange platelets which can be hexagonal shape and are generally in one plane within the Feldspar. This effect is called aventurescence, or Sunstone effect, and gives some of the gems their orange glow.
- Magnetite (Fe3O4) Iron Oxide which creates the lattice effect. This forms as a very thin blades that occur in one plane at different levels (like pages in a book). These blades orientate (north/south) in different levels by a process known as lamellar twinning and also displays “Sagentic twinning”, which forms the lattice pattern. The magnetite inclusions in many cases have oxidized or altered through geophysical processes to give the iridescence or rainbow effect across the lattice patterning. The magnetite that has no alteration remains black with a metallic sheen. The magnetite also predominantly forms triangles and even the lattice pattern has triangular terminations.
It is a rare occurrence when Sunstone occurs in a Moonstone, let alone with the added presence of the other phenomena seen in this extraordinary gemstone -
perfect parallel lines and equilateral triangles which are incredibly rare in nature.
Record Keepers tend not to be pre programmed with information ; rather they work as a key to unlock what is recorded within one's own cellular structure. Each triangle appears as a trigger to activate a specific chain link on the Dna . When working with these stones, it is not unusual for triangles to rise and disappear as aspect's of one's cellular memory are cleared and integrated and new aspects are activated.
An alchemical stone bringing a profound connection to light and the regenerative power of the sun during meditation and in everyday life. These Phenomenal gems exhibit moving lines, star, or changes on the surface as the light varied, and was considered to bring good fortune.
With the radiance of the sun and the fire of the solar ray, Sunstone carries the energy of Ra, the sun god, whose energy brings all potential life from within the Earth. It is a Stone of Leadership - of personal power, freedom, and expanded consciousness. Truly reflecting the qualities of Light, it brings openness, benevolence and warmth, strength, mental clarity, and the
willingness and ability to bestow blessings upon others.
In ancient India, Sunstone was revered as protection from the destructive forces of other realms.
SUNSTONE
give it an additional sparkle and fire.
Metaphysically, Sunstone is known for its powerful connection to the light and power of the sun. Sunstone brings light to all situations, and carrying a piece around with you can help your personal power to “shine”. Once known as a stone of good luck, Sunstone has a bright,
joyful energy that increases vitality and lightens dark moods.
Sunstone helps empower those who feel persecuted or abandoned by others, instilling confidence and optimism and encouraging motivation and positive action. Sunstone is also useful in removing energy draining ties or “hooks” into your energy by other people.
Sunstone is a great stone for the Base, Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras, but can clear and energize all Chakras. Sunstone was used by the Canadian Indians in medicine wheel rituals, by the ancient Greeks to represent the Sun Gods, and in ancient India for protection from dark forces from other realms.

MOONSTONE
Moonstone is associated with the Moon and is a wonderfully helpful stone for those who seek to embrace the Goddess within. A stone of intuition and insight, Moonstone helps to connect to all of the different cycles one experiences in life. Moonstone helps to balance the emotional body, especially any aggressive tendencies in males or females. Many people find Moonstone to be very soothing and use it to help relieve stress. Moonstone is used to protect those who travel on or by water.
Working with the Sacral, Third-Eye and Crown Chakras, Moonstone connects us to Divine Inspiration, and channels it into our own intuition. Moonstone encourages introspection and judgment, yielding to easier decision making. Moonstone also enhances one's emotional vision, bringing greater creative abilities and freedom of expression. These properties are also enhanced by Moonstone's ability to open one up to increased synchronicities, that we often cannot see due to our being wrapped up in our daily routines. Moonstone can also offer increased patience and allowing, so those
newly found synchronicities can flow into our lives unimpeded.
Physically, Moonstone can promote conception by aiding all aspects of the reproductive system. Moonstone is also known to help with digestive system, including the liver, and can aid in the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals. Many women like Moonstone for its ability to

Charge your Moonstone by placing it on a windowsill or outdoors overnight during the full moon. You may notice the stone getting more powerful as the moon reaches its fullest point,
and losing its potency as the moon wanes.

Those in relationships can benefit from the cooperation vibe coming from Hematite.
Hematite can help one to find their own, unique gifts and to release self-imposed limitations, while still maintaining a healthy amount of self-control.
