0.42 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The exquisite heart-shaped rainbow moonstone offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a testament to the majestic processes of nature that began millions of years ago. This 0.42 carat gemstone originates from the distinguished region of Ceylon, now modern-day Sri Lanka, renowned for producing some of the world's most precious and high-quality stones. The formation of this moonstone commenced deep beneath the Earth's surface, under intense geothermal conditions. It's remarkable how layers of minerals were subject to significant heat and pressure, ultimately crystallizing into the gem we admire today. This slow, yet magical, transformation bestowed the moonstone with its semi-transparent allure, inviting anyone who gazes upon it into a world marked by both elegance and history.

Measuring 4.88 x 5.30 x 3.40 mm, this moonstone undergoes a meticulous process to achieve its refined appearance. Cut into a delicate heart shape with a mixed brilliant cut, the stone highlights a balance between precision and artistry. Every angle and facet of this gem has been shaped to maximize its subtle interplay of light and color, elevating its natural iridescence. Despite its faint color intensity, the valuable characteristic of adularescence becomes apparent as light interacts with the stone, creating a mystical sheen that appears to float just beneath the surface. It is important to note the gem's clarity grade is marked as very slightly included, an assessment based on evaluation at eye level. This ensures that, while minor inclusions are present, they remain inconspicuous to the naked eye, thereby preserving the moonstone's intrinsic beauty.

Further enhancing its appeal is the gemstone's excellent polish, a quality that reflects the expertise and dedication of The Natural Gemstone Company to producing superior products. This meticulous finish provides a smooth texture and enables the stone to exhibit maximum reflection and brilliance. Each piece sourced and offered by us undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets the highest standards. Holding a piece as delicate as this rainbow moonstone is akin to holding a fragment of Earth's own light and history. Ideal for diverse applications, whether set in fine jewelry or held as a collector's piece, it embodies both the timeless artistry of nature and the unparalleled craftsmanship characteristic of our collection.
