Onyx and moonstone are natural gemstones commonly used in jewelry; both gems are stunning and beautiful, each in its own way. Onyx, a pure black stone that is sometimes marbled with shades of white and gray, is often confused for jet since the two can look very similar. Moonstones, which come in a variety of colors, have a unique iridescent quality. Rainbow moonstones can change colors depending on the light in which they are viewed. Determining if a stone is an onyx or a moonstone can be a tricky process.
