1.53 Ct. Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, rests a treasure trove of Earth's most enchanting creations. Among these hidden gems lies the rainbow moonstone, a mystical marvel celebrated for its ethereal beauty and captivating allure. This particular gemstone begins its journey deep within the fertile embrace of the island's soil. Born of volcanic activity millions of years ago, the lava flows and tectonic shifts gave rise to the formation of feldspar. Over centuries, these minerals slowly cooled and crystallized, setting the stage for the moonstone's unique play of light.

Our 1.53 carat rainbow moonstone, carefully extracted from its home in the Sri Lankan earth, reflects the beauty and serenity of its birthplace with dimensions of 9.10 x 6.60 x 4.66 mm. The stone's semi-transparent, oval shape invites the viewer to explore its depths. As you turn the gem in your hand, light dances across its surface due to a masterfully executed mixed brilliant cut. This precise carving captures and exhibits the moonstone's unique adularescence, embodying an iridescence comparable only to a whispered promise of dawn. Its clarity grade of eye clean ensures a captivating view unmarred by any imperfections. The light color intensity adds a hint of elusive mystery, while the excellent polish achieved by the skilled hands of our craftsmen reveals a surface smooth enough to escort each ray of light with precision.

Beyond its intrinsic value as a gemstone, its story and cultural significance infuse it with a rare specialty, making it a timeless accent for any collection or a fascinating conversation starter.
