0.49 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a truly exquisite specimen from The Natural Gemstone Company: a semi-transparent 0.49 carat pear-shaped rainbow moonstone, crafted to enthrall and capture the hearts of gemstone enthusiasts. At a glance, its dimensions of 6.41 x 4.39 x 3.68 mm may seem modest, but each millimeter radiates with the brilliance characteristic of its unique structure—a structure defined by its mixed brilliant cut, specifically chosen to maximize the stone’s inherent sparkle. This type of cut incorporates facets angled with precision, allowing the stone to interact intricately with light, resulting in a luminous shimmer that outshines lesser-cut gems.

The clarity grade of this moonstone is rated as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to its pristine quality and the minimal presence of imperfections. These inclusions are so minuscule that they go virtually unnoticed to the casual observer, allowing for the purity and uninterrupted play of light within the gem. It is essential to note that clarity in a moonstone enhances its value significantly, as each inclusion—though rare in this piece—can contribute unpredictably to its unique, otherworldly glow. Its faint color intensity further adds to its allure, offering a subtle yet impossibly captivating presence that fits a range of aesthetic preferences, from those favoring understated elegance to seekers of rare collector’s pieces.

Originating from the storied lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this moonstone emerges from a rich gemstone heritage. Sri Lanka is renowned worldwide for producing gemstones of exceptional quality due to its unique geological formation. The excellent polish awarded to this stone ensures that it meets the high standards of finish synonymous with Ceylon gemstones, allowing every nuanced hue and internal light phenomena to be prominently displayed. With an impressive pedigree and cutting expertise that enhances its optical properties, this rainbow moonstone is a valuable acquisition for any discerning buyer.
