0.33 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present one of our exquisite offerings, a fine pear-shaped rainbow moonstone weighing 0.33 carats. This particular moonstone showcases the ethereal beauty and unique optical phenomenon that these gemstones are celebrated for. Its semi-transparent appearance allows it to exhibit the remarkable adularescence, a soft glow of light that appears to float just beneath the surface. With dimensions of 5.36 x 3.78 x 4.17 mm, this stone balances size and spectacle, making it an appealing choice for those who appreciate the subtle elegance and dynamic play of light characteristic of moonstones.

Our moonstone's mixed brilliant cut enhances its visual appeal, optimizing the stone's light return and adding a level of brilliance not traditionally associated with moonstones. This cut, meticulously crafted, draws out the best features of the rainbow moonstone’s dynamic sheen, setting it apart within its category. Compared to traditional factors such as the cabochon forms often seen in moonstones, this fine gem takes sophistication up a notch by letting the refracted light dance more vividly across its surface, amplifying its mystical inner glow.

In terms of clarity, the moonstone holds a "slightly included" rating, as evaluated at eye level. This grade indicates minor inclusions that are somewhat visible, though they do little to detract from the stone's intrinsic beauty and its transparent glory. As a reflection of the stone's authenticity and natural formation, these inclusions add character to the piece while maintaining a superb overall appeal. Among gemstones like opals and labradorites, field companions known for their display of chromatic wonders, the rainbow moonstone enjoys a comparative advantage with its distinctive sheen, provided by its internal microstructures that diffract light.

Furthermore, the moonstone’s light color intensity intrigues with a serene blend that does justice to its Ceylon origin, known globally as a source of superior quality gemstones. Ceylon, or Sri Lanka, with its storied history and geological richness, offers an environment where moonstones mined are of appreciable clarity and character. This locale imbues each moonstone with a historic prestige, enhancing the intrinsic value of the gem and therefore offering collectors and enthusiasts an excellent specimen for both adornment and investment.

An excellent polish completes the presentation of this gem, providing a smooth and gleaming surface that balances its natural beauty with refined workmanship. This attention to detail ensures that each facet and curve of the moonstone catches light with graceful effectiveness, reflecting the skill associated with The Natural Gemstone Company. Our commitment to showcasing high-quality, ethically sourced gemstones is echoed in every aspect of this rainbow moonstone, making it a standout choice among peers in its category and an esteemed member of any fine gemstone collection.
