1.73 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional translucent 1.73 carat pear shape blue flash moonstone is a rare offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, a piece designed for collectors and connoisseurs who seek the extraordinary. Hand selected from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this cabochon cut gem measures 8.76 by 6.42 by 4.28 mm, and displays a delicate blue adularescence that dances across the surface with movement and light. The stone carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and a light color intensity that enhances its ethereal glow. The polish is excellent, and there are no enhancements, ensuring that you receive a moonstone that is entirely natural and honest in its beauty. Opal type, White Opal, is noted for those who appreciate subtle, luminous body tones, and this moonstone sits comfortably among the most refined examples one can find, making ownership feel like membership in an exclusive circle of discerning collectors.

Durability is important for any treasured gem, and this moonstone sits at approximately 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, a rating that speaks to respectable resilience while also guiding thoughtful use. For context, quartz ranks at 7, corundum such as sapphire and ruby at 9, and diamond at 10, so this moonstone will wear beautifully in protected settings, and it rewards careful handling and intelligent design choices such as bezel settings or protective mountings. Its cabochon cut enhances the stability of the stone and protects the surface, while the size and shape make it suitable for a signature ring, a pendant that sits close to the heart, or bespoke creations that highlight its blue flash. As with all fine moonstones, avoid harsh knocks and prolonged exposure to abrasive chemicals, and it will remain a luminous heirloom. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this singular moonstone as a limited opportunity, a gemstone that will not be replicated in the same form, and we invite you to own a piece of the rare and the beautiful, a gemstone that speaks of refined taste and quiet rarity.
