The 2 main categories of moonstones are the traditional "true moonstone" composed of orthoclase and albite and the "rainbow moonstone" which is, in fact, labradorite feldspar and less valuable than the orthoclase variety.
Moonstone body color can range from colorless to white, gray, brown, yellow, orange, green, or pink. But its beauty is in its sheen, which can be white to deep blue and create a sweet color that seems to float across the convex surface of the stone when it is cut en cabochon. This effect is especially beautiful when the stone is displayed on a dark background such as an evening dress.
