0.33 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents a captivating gem that stands as a testament to nature’s artistry—our exquisite 0.33-carat rainbow moonstone. This semi-transparent gemstone is intricately crafted into a pear shape, with meticulously calibrated dimensions of 5.58 mm by 4.10 mm by 3.48 mm. Reflecting a mixed brilliant cut, this moonstone is an exemplar of craftsmanship with its excellent polish, allowing it to radiantly reflect light and capture attention with mesmerizing play-of-color, a quality reminiscent of celebrated gemstones throughout history.

Historically, moonstone has been revered for its mystical allure and enchanting qualities similar to the regal blue of the fabled sapphires of the Crown Jewels or the incandescent luster of the renowned Koh-i-Noor diamond. While rubies and emeralds have dazzled royalty with their deep hues and remarkable clarity, our rainbow moonstone stands out with its opaque, soft glow that offers a subtle, yet captivating display of iridescent hues. This unique attribute gives it a distinctive charm, as it shifts in depth under varying lights, creating an impression of movement and life—an attribute that many a famed gemstone has long sought.

The origin of our moonstone in Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, adds an esteemed heritage to its already impressive qualities. Sri Lanka, with its incredibly rich deposits, has throughout history been regarded as one of the foremost regions for exquisite gemstones, akin to Burma for its rubies or Colombia for its emeralds. This Ceylon moonstone benefits from the unparalleled craftsmanship and tradition of gemstone mining and cutting, which enhances its faint color intensity while maintaining a surprisingly good clarity for slightly included grade when evaluated at eye level.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are committed to offering gemstones that are not just beautiful, but are also significant in their heritage and unparalleled in quality. This 0.33-carat rainbow moonstone is an impeccable choice for collectors who appreciate gemstones with unique beauty and historical gravitas.
