0.48 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional rainbow moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare, transparent 0.48 carat gem, beautifully fashioned in an emerald cut that maximizes its subtle adularescence. Its precise dimensions are 6.89 x 3.37 x 2.96 mm, reflecting meticulous cutting and proportion control, with an excellent polish that yields a smooth, luminous surface. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, allowing the stone to remain visually clean while retaining natural character that speaks to its authenticity. The color intensity is faint, offering a delicate, ethereal glow that changes with light and movement, and importantly, the gemstone has no enhancement, preserving its natural origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka. Pieces like this are seldom available, each one an invitation to an elite circle of collectors who value authenticity, provenance, and the quiet distinction of an unaltered treasure.

On the Mohs hardness scale this moonstone typically ranks around 6 to 6.5, which places it below corundum at 9 and diamond at 10, and slightly below common quartz at 7, stabilizing it in a range where care and intelligent setting matter for long term durability. While it is resilient enough for occasional wear, we recommend protective settings such as a bezel or a halo that shield the pavilion and edges from knocks and abrasions, especially for ring usage. Avoid harsh chemicals and heavy impact activities, and remove the piece for manual labor or sports to preserve its polish and clarity. Owning this moonstone is owning a small number of naturally flawless moments drawn from the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and The Natural Gemstone Company curates each selection with an eye for rarity and timeless elegance.
