1.98 Ct. Moonstone from Madagascar

This is a rare, semi transparent white moonstone of exceptional presence, sourced directly from the rich deposits of Madagascar, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. Weighing 1.98 carat and fashioned into an elegant oval shape, this gem measures 8.95 by 6.80 by 5.63 millimeters, an ideal size for a statement ring or an exquisite pendant. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to maximize both scintillation and internal glow, and the excellent polish accentuates each facet with a crisp, mirror like finish. At eye level the clarity is judged very slightly included, a transparency that allows light to pass and play within the stone while preserving its natural character. The color intensity is near colorless, a refined neutrality that speaks to the purity of the material and creates a luminous backdrop for the moonstone s subtle internal sheen. Crucially, this piece is free of enhancement, a wholly natural specimen whose beauty is the result of careful selection and artisan cutting rather than laboratory treatment.

What sets this moonstone apart from more common white gems is the nature of its brilliance and the rare union of internal glow and faceted fire. Unlike white topaz or clear quartz which rely primarily on surface reflections and sharp flashes of white sparkle, this moonstone offers a softer, more complex luminosity. Where white sapphire and other near colorless gems deliver brilliant, crystalline scintillation, this moonstone combines that lively scintillation with an ethereal adularescence that seems to originate from within the stone, a diffuse, moonlit sheen that shifts as the gem moves. The mixed brilliant cut enhances both behaviors, translating internal light into tiny, lively flashes around the table and crown, while the semi transparent body lets that surface play breathe with depth. The result is a gem that reads as both brilliant and mysterious, it catches the eye with lively sparkle and then holds the gaze with a silky inner glow. For collectors and connoisseurs who know the vocabulary of gems, this moonstone is not merely another colorless stone, it is a rare optical marriage of clarity, cut, and indigenous character from Madagascar.

Owning this moonstone places you among a small circle of individuals who appreciate the nuance of natural gemstones, and The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to present it as an invitation into that world. Because pieces of this quality and provenance are found only intermittently, each example is essentially a bespoke opportunity to create an heirloom quality jewel, a singular focal point for a custom setting that will reveal new facets of beauty with every wear. Imagine it set in warm gold to emphasize its inner glow, or in cool white metal to let its near colorless purity sing, either choice will allow the mixed brilliant faceting and excellent polish to perform at their best. We welcome your questions about setting recommendations, certification, and secure shipping, and we will be delighted to provide additional images or a private viewing to confirm the stone s presence and proportions. For those who seek rarity and true, untreated beauty, this 1.98 carat Madagascar moonstone is an uncommon find, an intimate, luminous treasure waiting to become a distinguished part of your collection.
