0.37 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the enchanting island of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a remarkable journey begins deep within the earth. A treasure concealed by the intricate layers of geology, a gemstone that has silently waited for millennia to grace the world above, begins its sacred ascent. This is not just any gem; it is a semi-transparent moonstone carrying the weight of 0.37 carats. The birth of this moonstone, amidst the lush landscapes and rich tropical flora of Ceylon, imbues it with a uniqueness and a touch of wonder that only the island's legendary mining tradition can bestow. Our artisan miners extract it with utmost care, knowing they are handling one of nature's most exquisite secrets—a moonstone destined to transcend time and place.

The mining of moonstones in Ceylon is not just a trade; it is a tradition steeped in deep respect for the earth's bounties. Passed down through generations, the skills and rituals that surround mining are part of Ceylon's cultural heritage. Our moonstone emerges from its mother rock like a timeless relic, bringing with it the aura of ancient oceanic landscapes where legends of the heavens merged with the whispers of the sea. The reflections in this moonstone's surface echo back to ages past, telling stories of celestial bodies and mystic dreams, qualities that are perfectly embodied in its distinct pear shape.

Once unearthed, the moonstone's journey continues as it makes its way to skilled craftsmen who diligently refine its natural beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company, our master craftsmen understand the poetry written in the moonstone’s internal structure—its translucence, and how light dances subtly within it. They employ a mixed brilliant cut to illuminate its inner light. Each cut reveals its soft, milky radiance and gives life to its near colorless color intensity. Despite having a clarity grade labeled as slightly included, this special Moonstone flaunts an admirable clarity at eye level, showcasing an unblemished encounter with its own lucent character.

This particular moonstone measures an intimate 6.08 x 4.33 x 3.63 mm, a size that belies its profound impact. When polished to perfection—a task undertaken with remarkable precision and patience—its surface is transformed to an exceptional smoothness. Every nuance is embraced, every glint brought to the fore, standing as a testament to the promise of Ceylon's natural wonders and our company’s dedication to craftsmanship.
