0.37 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Millions of years ago, amid the gradual but powerful forces of geological change, a rare gemstone began to take shape in the heart of what is now known as Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka. This white moonstone, now expertly crafted into a semi-transparent 0.37 carat gem, owes its existence to a suite of unique conditions deep within the Earth. The distinctive pear shape of this moonstone, measuring 5.85 x 3.71 x 3.29 mm, was made possible by the intense pressure and temperature fluctuations that facilitated its initial crystallization. Over eons, mineral-rich fluids permeated the moonstone’s environment, contributing to its formation and introducing its near colorless hue.

What differentiates this moonstone from others is its captivating inclusion and polish. With a clarity grade aptly noted as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this gemstone maintains an enchanting allure. The natural inclusions present tell the tale of its lengthy formation. Meanwhile, the excellent polish applied to this moonstone ensures maximum engagement with light, producing a captivating interaction that is the hallmark of its mixed brilliant cut. This captivating interplay not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also highlights the inherent qualities that well-informed buyers appreciate in gemstones.
