Grading is a crucial component when evaluating gemstones, and this moonstone stands out with its slightly included clarity grade.

The origin of our moonstone is from Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka. This island nation is one of the most revered sources of high-quality moonstones worldwide. Ceylon's gemstone deposits are formed under conditions perfect for cultivating gems that manifest striking optical qualities, involving a blend of geological marvel and natural beauty.

When it comes to setting this moonstone in jewelry, its color and transparency make it a versatile choice that can complement various skin tones seamlessly.

This aspect allows it to pair beautifully with both warm and cool skin tones, offering a neutral yet captivating splash of color. For those with fair skin, the moonstone's soft glow provides a lovely, understated contrast that highlights the skin's natural hue.
