0.50 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present a stunning example of lunar beauty: a semi-transparent pear-shaped white moonstone that weighs in at 0.50 carats. This moonstone is not just an ordinary gemstone—its exquisite attributes make it a fascinating and valuable addition to any collection. With dimensions of 6.90 x 4.73 x 3.23 mm, this moonstone embodies the delicate balance between elegance and understated glamor, qualities that discerning collectors appreciate. Its mixed brilliant cut amplifies the gemstone’s natural luster, creating a captivating display of shimmering light that dances across its semi-transparent surface. This level of craftsmanship is indicative of what collectors have come to expect from The Natural Gemstone Company.

The moonstone’s origin is noteworthy, having been sourced from Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka, a locale that is renowned for producing some of the finest quality gemstones in the world. The white moonstones from Ceylon are celebrated for their pure, near colorless tone, which sets them apart from moonstones sourced elsewhere. Compared to moonstones from India, which often possess a hint of gray or bluish undertones, the Ceylonese variety offers a more refined and uniform near colorless hue with near-colorless color intensity, enhancing its radiance and appeal. Moreover, the gemstone's clarity grade of very slightly included reflects its remarkable quality. Upon examination with the naked eye, inclusions are minimal, meaning that the gemstone’s aesthetic appeal and durability are of excellent standard. The excellent polish further ensures a silky, smooth exterior, perfectly complemented by the geometry of its pear shape.

In terms of hue and tone, our white moonstone continually holds its own even when compared with gemstones from other notable locations around the globe. For instance, moonstones from the Austrian Alps are often praised for their cool, icy blue-sheens, while those from Australia may exhibit flashes of milky translucency. However, the Ceylon moonstone stands uniquely among them with its soothing, neutrally elegant hue, perfectly poised to adapt to various lighting conditions and reflect diverse aspects of the natural soft-spectrum light. This captures the essence of moonlight’s mysterious elegance, a quality that has encapsulated human imaginations for centuries. For an educated buyer, such lure and legacy imbue the gemstone with an aura of timeless enchantment.

The Natural Gemstone Company understands that true beauty lies in the subtle allure and mysterious depths of a gemstone as much as in its notable origin. The precise gemological grading ensures that buyers are informed of their selection's inherent quality and value. Be it set in a delicate ring, an ethereal pendant, or even a statement brooch, this semi-transparent white moonstone offers versatility and an understated elegance that is bound to resonate with a buyer who appreciates both history and quality. It not only serves as an enchanting expression of nature’s artistry but also as a symbol of its owner’s sophisticated taste. Owning a Ceylon moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company means embracing a legacy of unrivaled beauty, the value of meticulous selection, and exceptional craft integrity.
