0.50 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company proudly presents an exquisite pear-shaped rainbow moonstone that exemplifies the artistry and precision of master craftsmanship. This semi-transparent gem weighs 0.50 carats and might appear delicate, yet it boasts significant durability due to its inherent hardness on the Mohs scale. Rainbow moonstones typically register between 6 and 6.5 on this scale. This endows them with sufficient resilience to withstand the rigors of daily adornment while still projecting an ethereal beauty that captivates the observer. The moonstone's dimensions, measuring 6.41 x 3.70 x 4.32 mm, deliver an ideal balance between size and proportion. These dimensions have been meticulously considered to maximize the gem's brilliance and to enhance its unique properties.

A signature detail of our rainbow moonstone is its mixed brilliant cut, a sophisticated feature that enhances its visual allure. This cut integrates a series of precisely executed facets, each meticulously placed to optimize light return and scintillation. Faceting styles are crucial in unveiling the intrinsic luminosity of a gemstone, and in this specimen, the play of light is nothing short of mesmerizing. The faceted sides work in concert to create subtle flashes of color, hallmarking the gemstone’s faint color intensity. This subdued chromatic palette ensures the moonstone maintains its classic appeal while subtly reflecting the enchanting hues for which rainbow moonstones are revered.

The clarity grade of this moonstone is assessed as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, marking it as a high-quality gem free from any visible imperfections that might detract from its aesthetic value. This grade speaks to the purity and the refined beauty of the stone, appealing particularly to discriminating buyers who value the microscopic details that define truly exceptional gemstones. The excellent polish is another testament to the consummate skill involved in shaping this moonstone. It ensures a surface devoid of any abrasions and provides a mirror-like finish that enhances both brilliance and luster.
