1.63 Ct. Moonstone from Madagascar

From the heart of Madagascar to the careful hands of our master cutters, this white moonstone tells a story that is both ancient and alive. Brought to light from a landscape of weathered granite and tropical forest, the rough crystal was discovered by local miners who have passed techniques and lore from one generation to the next. The Natural Gemstone Company honors those origins, and this 1.63 carat oval gem carries the memory of its beginning in every facet. Measuring 8.76 x 6.81 x 5.19 mm, shaped into a classic oval, and fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, this moonstone began as a quiet light beneath the earth and has been coaxed into a form that reveals its inner glow. Its semi transparent body and near colorless intensity give it a purity that feels like moonlight made tangible, while its very slightly included clarity as evaluated at eye level proves that this is a natural and honest gem.

The transformation from rough to refined required patient hands and precise vision. Our cutters selected a mixed brilliant scheme to balance scintillation with the soft, ethereal shimmer that moonstone lovers seek. The mixed brilliant design allows the pavilion and crown to work together, producing lively sparkle from the facets while preserving the stone space to show its subtle adularescence when the gem catches the light. The polish on this piece is excellent, every facet meeting with crisp lines and a smooth surface that invites touch. No enhancements were applied, so the color intensity you see is the true report of the gem as nature intended. This purity makes the moonstone especially suited for settings where honesty of origin and material matter, a signature that The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present.

Inclusions within this white moonstone act as natural signatures, unique to this individual treasure. Described as very slightly included at eye level, these internal features are not flaws to be hidden, but markers of the gem s journey. You may notice faint veil like structures, tiny mineral threads, and delicate growth planes that scatter and catch light like fragile rivers under a pale sky. Some inclusions behave like fingerprints, patterns that will never repeat in another stone, and that confirm the gem s natural formation deep within the earth. These features can create subtle effects in the way light dances through the stone, turning a single ray into a soft spectrum across the table and pavilion. For collectors and wearers who appreciate character and provenance, these inclusions are a welcome reminder that this moonstone is not laboratory made, but a piece of Madagascar s geology and time.

When viewed in hand, on a ring or in a pendant, the proportions of this gem feel elegantly complete. The oval shape and its dimensions provide an approachable presence, substantial enough to be noticed, yet refined enough to sit harmoniously with the hand. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes both fire and the gentle moonlike sheen, creating a duality that suits both daytime wear and evening elegance. Because the gem is near colorless, it pairs beautifully with warm and cool metals alike, allowing jewelers and designers to craft settings in yellow gold, white gold, or platinum that will each tell a different story. For commission work, the stone lends itself to a solitaire design that showcases its natural character, or to a halo setting that amplifies its sparkle while leaving its inner inclusions visible and celebrated. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this moonstone as a ready choice for anyone seeking an honest gem with a quiet but undeniable presence.
