Introducing an exquisite gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company: a stunning 13.29 carat white moonstone, crafted into a perfectly round shape. This gem boasts dimensions of 12.15 x 12.43 x 11.17 mm, highlighting its substantial presence. With a cabochon cut, this moonstone captivates with its characteristic sheen, enhanced by an excellent polish that adds to its alluring glow. Appreciated for its near colorless intensity, the moonstone subtly captures light, offering an ethereal shimmer that is highly sought after by gemstone enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This moonstone originates from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing stones of exceptional quality and rich history. The geographical origin not only ensures the authenticity of the gemstone but also links it to a legacy of luxury. It possesses a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is a testament to its purity. These inclusions, far from imperfections, serve as unique identifiers, accentuating the moonstone's individuality and natural formation process. Each inclusion within the gem narrates a story, a moment trapped in time, that can supplement its mystique for the wearer.

In terms of value, an unenhanced moonstone offers pure, untouched beauty as nature intended, and this is a significant selling point for discerning buyers. By avoiding enhancements, The Natural Gemstone Company ensures that each gemstone retains its original properties and natural allure. This factor enhances not just the beauty but also the value of our moonstones, reinforcing their position as truly original and authentic luxury items. Educated buyers understand the importance of natural clarity and lack of treatment, as these are pivotal to appreciating long-term appreciation and rarity.

The inherent charm of this moonstone, bolstered by its carefully executed cabochon cut, makes it a versatile choice for jewelers and designers. The cut itself, smooth and dome-like, enhances the stone’s adularescence—a soft, billowy glow reminiscent of moonlight—by allowing light to travel within the stone and create a mystical blue to white sheen. This phenomenon, combined with the stone’s natural inclusions, generates an almost otherworldly appearance that adds depth and dimension to jewelry pieces.

Choosing this moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company means investing in more than just a stone. You are acquiring a piece imbued with history, natural beauty, and crafting excellence, with each unique inclusion telling a story all its own. This moonstone's Ceylon origin ensures a lineage of unparalleled quality, making it a prized possession for any collector focused on fine and natural gemstones.
