1.99 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.99 carat translucent oval blue flash moonstone measures 8.48 by 6.49 by 4.65 mm, and it is shaped as a classic cabochon cut with an excellent polish, no enhancement, and origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The gem carries a clarity described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means it offers a clean visual field and an unobstructed play of light that many market alternatives cannot match. In the crowded field of moonstones and opals, this piece stands apart because it combines a pronounced blue adularescence with a light body color and a finely controlled cabochon dome, attributes that mass produced or lower quality stones, and many treated examples, often lack. For customers who search catalog entries by category, this piece is also recorded with opal type White Opal, reflecting the white to light body tone and opalescent shimmer that parallels classic white opals, while still retaining the unique feldspar texture and crystal structure of a moonstone. Compared to typical commercial pieces, which may show weaker flash, uneven polish, or surface-reaching inclusions, this specimen presents superior optical effect and cutting quality, which is immediately apparent when compared side by side.

Owning this gemstone is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, a choice that elevates a jewelry design from common to collectible, and provides enduring aesthetic value. Because it is unenhanced and sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it offers the authenticity and ethical provenance that discerning buyers increasingly demand, and it is cut to maximize the natural phenomenon rather than mask imperfections with treatments. When set as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring, pendant, or heirloom piece, the combination of near two carat weight, vivid blue flash, and meticulous cabochon work creates a wearable object of art that will be admired and preserved. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this moonstone as a thoughtful alternative to treated or synthetic options, offering greater long term enjoyment and stronger resale perception because of its integrity and rarity in this size and clarity class. For collectors and designers who prioritize optical performance, honest sourcing, and expert cutting, this blue flash moonstone represents a smart acquisition, both for the immediate visual impact and for the lasting testament to fine lapidary craftsmanship.
