0.39 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A tiny treasure from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, this transparent 0.39 carat heart shape rainbow moonstone carries the quiet authority of antiquity and the gentle poetry of moonlit nights. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, and measuring 4.51 by 4.89 by 3.35 mm, it presents a clear, luminous body, faint color intensity, and an excellent polish that allows the stone to reveal its adularescence with subtle movement. Graded very slightly included at eye level, and free from enhancement, this moonstone retains a natural integrity that collectors and connoisseurs have cherished for centuries. In cultures that spanned oceans and eras, moonstone was prized as a talisman of intuition and renewal, a gem that linked the wearer to lunar cycles and ancient rites. The heart shape lends an additional layer of timeless sentiment, invoking classic motifs of love and legacy that translate effortlessly into heirloom pieces.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we see this moonstone as an invitation to create something enduring, and it adapts beautifully to a variety of settings and designs. In a solitaire pendant the heart shape can be bezel set to emphasize its soft glow, or placed in a delicate prong mount to allow light to travel through its transparent body. For rings the stone suits both vintage inspired filigree and clean modern bands, and its modest dimensions make it ideal for stackable arrangements or as a center stone in a refined engagement or promise ring. As a pair it would translate into timeless drop earrings framed by fine metal or accented with small diamonds or sapphires, and as a focal point in a cuff or bangle it will offer quiet reflection. Custom halo settings can amplify the moonstone with a ring of white gems, while warm metals such as rose gold will enhance its romantic character, and cool metals such as platinum or white gold will underscore its luminous, classic nature. We provide bespoke guidance on mounting style, metal choice, and complementary accent stones, ensuring that each setting honors the gem origin, the heart shape, and the ancient narrative that makes moonstone a perennial favorite. Choose The Natural Gemstone Company to transform this Ceylon rainbow moonstone into a piece that will be cherished across generations.
