0.67 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the nurturing shade of Ceylon's lush, undulating hills, where tea plantations and luscious greenery flourish, lies the treasure trove that has given birth to one of our exquisite finds – a semi-transparent 0.67 carat rainbow moonstone. Before it ever catches the light, before it dances with an ethereal glow that evokes the mysteries of the moon, this gem sat deep within the earth, a latent luminescence waiting to unfold. The birth of a rainbow moonstone begins with earthly pressures and a lengthy geological timeline as it takes shape beneath the Sri Lankan soil, its eventual emergence promising to captivate those who hold it with nature's romantic tale.

Found nestled in the rich, storied lands of Ceylon, our emerald-cut moonstone hails from a realm famous for its rich supply of mineral wealth and storied history in gemstone mining. Its dimensions, precisely measured at 6.94 x 4.26 x 3.18 mm, reflect the craftsmanship that transforms rough rock into finely tailored gems. Infinitely patient workers, carrying festoons of unspoken tradition, meticulously uncover these gems, revealing beauty chiseled by time and pressure. An emerald cut enhances this moonstone's natural sheen, illuminating its gorgeous adularescence, or the remarkable visual phenomenon that rivals the colors of the evening sky just before dusk.

This rainbow moonstone's clarity, graded as very very slightly included, suggests remarkable purity with barely any inclusions when evaluated at eye level. Cluedo mere whispers beneath its pristine surface, each inclusion being nature's own signature, a testament to its genuine creation under forces that man can only marvel at. The faint color intensity further ensures that its spectrum of colors, flowing gently like a moonlit river, does not overpower but complements with subtlety and grace. An excellent polish captures and reflects light immaculately, evidencing the craftsmanship that the artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company dedicate to ensuring its ultimate radiance.

Contrasted with lab-grown stones, our natural rainbow moonstone tells not just of shimmer and elegance but of storied origins and celebrated histories. While lab-grown alternatives are models of scientific precision producing uniformity in structure, they lack the character that marks every natural stone as unique. Each naturally occurring gemstone, having taken millennia to form, carries with it a tale steeped in the forces of nature and the cultural significance of the region from which it has been drawn. Unlike synthetic counterparts, a true moonstone invites its beholder to be part of a larger story, one enriched with wonder and appreciation of the natural world.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, offering you this remarkable gem, we believe a true gemstone is more than an accessory. It is an heirloom carrying facets of legacy, an exhibition of the earth's profound beauty. It is a tangible connection to a world that exists under pressures unseen, formed in secrets unfathomed, then shared for all to cherish and marvel at. So, clasp our rainbow moonstone not merely as a piece of jewelry but as a fragment of the earth's resplendent artistry, ready to imbed your story within its glittered past.
