From the mineral-rich hills of Madagascar to your jewelry bench, this rainbow moonstone carries a story of earth and hand. Mined from a region known for producing stones with lively adularescence, this particular gem was selected by our scouts for its rare balance of clarity and luminous color. In rough form it hinted at a spectrum of internal light. Skilled cutters at The Natural Gemstone Company then shaped and polished it with care, choosing an oval outline and a mixed brilliant cut that opens the stone to light. The result is a semi-transparent marvel weighing 1.71 carats, with dimensions of 7.60 x 6.98 x 6.11 mm, a medium light color intensity, and a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. No enhancements were applied, allowing the natural character of the moonstone to speak for itself.
The 1.71 carat weight is central to the gem's premium identity. In moonstones this size, carat weight translates directly into presence on the finger or pendant. This piece reads as substantial without overwhelming, offering a wearable size for everyday elegance and ceremonial moments alike. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes internal dispersion and creates a dynamic play of color when the stone moves. The excellent polish enhances those flashes, delivering silky facets and crisp light return that a discerning buyer will notice. Because the stone is untreated, its color and clarity are honest, and the very slightly included grade confirms authenticity while preserving the stone's inner glow.
Owning this moonstone is to carry a fragment of Madagascar with you, transformed by artisans who respect the stone's natural identity. It adapts beautifully to classic bezel settings that protect its delicate surface, and to open prong settings that show off its 1.71 carat scale and mixed brilliant sparkle. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this gem not as a commodity but as a story, ready to be written into a piece that reflects personal meaning and style. For collectors and first time buyers alike this moonstone offers rarity, natural beauty, and the quiet assurance of premium quality.
