One oval, semi-transparent white moonstone, weight 2.02 carats, dimensions 9.02 by 6.06 by 4.97 millimeters, cabochon cut. The stone presents a clean, even body tone with colorless color intensity and an excellent polish across the dome. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, indicating only minor internal features that do not significantly interrupt light return or the overall visual appeal. There has been no enhancement to alter color, clarity, or stability, and documented origin is Madagascar. The length to width ratio of approximately 1.49 places this specimen squarely within the classic oval proportions favored for versatile jewelry applications.
Optically the gem displays the soft pearly luster and gentle internal glow commonly associated with fine moonstone material, qualities that are accentuated by the smooth, symmetrical cabochon dome. The cut has been executed to preserve thickness and durability while maximizing surface area for the characteristic moonstone appearance, with the 4.97 millimeter height providing substantial depth for secure bezel or low-profile prong mounting. The very slight inclusions are typical of natural feldspathic moonstones and, in this specimen, are minor enough that they do not detract from the overall translucent presentation. These attributes make the piece suitable for use in rings, pendants, and earrings, and the neutral, colorless intensity integrates well with both warm and cool metals.
The Natural Gemstone Company confirms that all measurements and descriptions are provided to assist designers, jewelers, and collectors in evaluating suitability for specific applications. Care recommendations for moonstone include avoiding prolonged exposure to high heat and harsh chemicals, limiting contact with abrasive surfaces, and storing separately to prevent scratches from harder gems, as moonstone typically falls in the 6 to 6.5 range on the Mohs hardness scale. For mounting, bezel settings are recommended to protect the cabochon profile and minimize risk of edge chipping, while low-profile prong settings may be appropriate where design dictates. No treatment has been applied to this Madagascar origin moonstone, and additional high-resolution images, viewing videos under directional light, or independent gemological reports can be provided on request to support appraisal or certification needs.
