The mixed brilliant cut is a distinctive advantage in a marketplace still dominated by domed cabochons for moonstone, mixed brilliant cutting means the pavilion facets work with a faceted crown to generate scintillation alongside traditional adularescence, for designers and customers who want a moonstone that performs under both natural and directional light, this cut offers more dynamic movement than a standard cabochon, the semi transparency of this particular gem allows light to penetrate and interact with internal structures, creating a layered glow that reads differently as the wearer moves, the slight inclusions noted at eye level are typical for natural moonstone and often contribute to the visual depth and character of the gem, the excellent polish ensures the surface is mirror like, producing crisp flashes and clean reflections that enhance the mixed cut, compared with lower grade material that shows dull faces, poor polish lines, or heavy rutile that obscures light, this specimen presents a refined balance of inclusion and clarity.

When you consider value, this 0.63 carat oval gives remarkable versatility, for its size and optical qualities it competes strongly with alternatives such as small treated sapphires or mass produced synthetic equivalents, many consumers seeking an ethereal, moonlit effect will find more uniqueness in a natural Madagascar rainbow moonstone than in mass produced simulants that trade personality for uniformity, this gem is particularly well suited to fine jewelry that needs a focal point with movement and subtlety, it is large enough to be notable in a ring or pendant, yet compact enough for earrings or as an accent in a cluster, buyers should also note that the stone is untreated, which means the light behavior and color will remain predictable over time, unlike some heat treated or dyed stones that can shift, The Natural Gemstone Company is committed to transparent sourcing and documentation, this stone exemplifies that approach by offering a clear origin, a clear enhancement status, and a clear set of measurements so designers and customers can plan settings with confidence.

For a custom piece the way this moonstone mixes with complementary gemstones can elevate its moonlike glow, set in white gold with a halo of small white diamonds, the light reflections from the diamond melee will amplify the adularescence and make the central oval appear to float, paired with blue sapphire accents, especially in deep cornflower tone, the cool blue will echo the blue flashes sometimes seen in rainbow moonstone, creating a cohesive lunar palette, for a softer vintage look combine the stone with warm champagne melee, or with small rose cut diamonds set in rose gold, the warm metal will bring out any subtle cream tones and give the piece a romantic, antique inspired mood, for a contemporary contrast consider tiny peridot or tsavorite garnet points, the vivid green will pop against the moonstone, making both stones read brighter, designers can also combine this faceted moonstone with confectionary opal slices or small faceted labradorite pieces for a high drama cluster, the oval proportions, six and a half by four and three quarters millimeters across, and three point nine one millimeters deep, make it suitable for a delicate prong setting to maximize light entry, or a thin bezel to protect the girdle and suit daily wear, when crafting a multi stone layout jewelers should account for the slightly included clarity grade by placing protective shoulders or low profile prongs where necessary, for a ring intended for everyday use consider a bezel or flush setting on the shank, for pendants a three prong or four prong mount will show off the mixed brilliant cut while keeping the stone secure.
