Raw Crystal Gemstone Tea Strainer - Rainbow Moonstone

Rainbow moonstone gives this tea strainer its milky white stone with flashes of blue that shift as it moves, an effect called adularescence. The stainless steel basket strains loose leaf tea over a cup or pot, then lifts out. Each stone is raw and natural, so the strength of the blue sheen varies from one strainer to the next.
