At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take immense pride in presenting a refined gemstone selection that embodies the blend of nature's artistry and human craftsmanship. One such captivating offering is our 10.08-carat translucent brown moonstone.

Its intrinsic qualities promise both aesthetic appeal and unique character, making it an outstanding choice for discerning collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike.

This moonstone features a medium color intensity that beautifully complements its polished surface, delivering a subtle yet captivating glow. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, the gemstone allows the presence of natural inclusions to enhance its distinctive personality rather than detract from its beauty. The cabochon cut further accentuates the moonstone's mystical shimmer, reminiscent of the gentle luminescence found in moonlight, which is the hallmark of moonstones. Unlike other gemstones that require enhancement, this moonstone is entirely natural, preserving its authentic brilliance and allure.

When considering reflective qualities, this moonstone stands apart from others within its category. Its adularescence, the soft light that undulates across its surface, offers a unique visual phenomenon not found in more transparent or uniform gemstones.

This makes it a versatile choice, capable of complementing both sophisticated evening attire and everyday accessories with equal grace.

The moonstone's origins in Ceylon are significant, as the region is esteemed for producing gemstones of the highest quality.
