This exquisite, one of a kind, transparent 2.17 carat oval blue flash moonstone is offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company, a singular treasure that will appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who value rarity and natural beauty. Cut in a refined faceted style with a mixed brilliant cut, this gem measures 9.46 x 7.71 x 4.94 mm, and displays a serene blue flash that moves beneath the surface as the stone is turned. The clarity is slightly included when viewed at eye level, which testifies to its natural origin and lends character to the gem while maintaining admirable transparency. Light in color intensity, with an excellent polish, and completely free of enhancement, this moonstone originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing specimens of exceptional optical charm. There is only one available of this exact size and cut, making it a bespoke acquisition that confers membership in an elite group of owners who appreciate the provenance and unaltered purity of fine natural gemstones.
Beyond its striking appearance, this moonstone is suited to daily wear when set and cared for responsibly, making it an ideal choice for rings, pendants, and earrings that are intended to be worn often. Moonstone is a variety of feldspar with a Mohs hardness of approximately 6 to 6.5, which means it can withstand everyday use yet benefits from considered mounting and gentle handling. The mixed brilliant faceting and excellent polish enhance its resistance to surface wear, and a protective setting such as a bezel or lower profile prong work will help shield the girdle and edges from knocks. Routine care is simple, warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain its luster, while harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners should be avoided to preserve the stone and its natural sheen. When set by a skilled jeweler in a design that respects its characteristics, this Madagascar blue flash moonstone will serve as an enduring emblem of refined taste, rarity, and understated luxury, available now through The Natural Gemstone Company.
