0.40 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape white moonstone weighs 0.40 carat, and measures 6.27 x 4.08 x 3.01 mm, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that enhances its transparency and internal light play. The stone has a very slightly included clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, and a near colorless color intensity that maintains a neutral, versatile appearance in settings. The surface is finished with an excellent polish, which contributes to a clean, reflective face and well defined facets. The specimen is untreated, no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance noted for producing high quality feldspar gem material. These objective attributes combine to yield a gemstone with refined optical appeal and consistent material integrity, as described by The Natural Gemstone Company.

In terms of durability, this moonstone offers a practical balance of hardness and resilience for regular wear when appropriate precautions are observed. As a member of the feldspar group, moonstone is more susceptible to surface abrasion and mechanical impact than harder gem materials, however the well executed mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish minimize surface irregularities that can concentrate wear. For daily wear, a protective mounting is recommended, such as a bezel or low profile surround that shields the girdle and pavilion from knocks, and secure prong work if a solitaire style is preferred. Routine care is straightforward, using warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding ultrasonic and steam cleaning, and removing the piece during heavy manual activity or exposure to harsh chemicals. With a considered setting and basic care, this 0.40 carat pear shape white moonstone performs reliably in rings, pendants, and earrings, combining enduring visual appeal with functional durability, a quality presentation offered by The Natural Gemstone Company.
