2.30 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Madagascar

One beautiful translucent 2.30 carat round shape blue flash moonstone rests like a held breath, a small globe of moonlight to be cherished, the dimensions are 7.97 x 8.12 x 5.41 mm, the gem is cut as a cabochon to reveal a living sheen, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium light color intensity, and an excellent polish that makes the blue adularescence glide across the surface like a tide, enhancement no enhancement, origin Madagascar, and presented with the care and provenance you expect from The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone reads as a whisper on the hand, translucent rather than opaque, so that every shift of light paints a different moment, a soft blue flash that rises like a memory of the sea under a new moon. Its round profile and gentle dome create an inner lantern of color, a blue heart that moves when you move, delicate and present, ready to be set with intention and worn as a talisman for love, for quiet power, for nights when you wish to carry the sky.

Compare this moonstone to the famed treasures of other places, and the contrasts read like poetry, Sri Lanka moonstones carry a long held reputation for silvery adularescence that seems to float across a clearer base, the finest Ceylon pieces sometimes show a luminous panoply like an inner mist, and yet this Madagascar example feels closer to a concentrated blue flash, a focused lantern rather than a wide mist. Think of the velvety cornflower blue of a Kashmir sapphire, a tone that holds a depth and saturation born of high alpine light, and you will see how this moonstone echoes that emotion without copying the density, it borrows the tender stillness of Kashmir blue but delivers it in a softer, aqueous way. Consider Brazilian aquamarine with its coastal clarity and cool sea breeze, and this moonstone answers with a gentler, more secret sea, less of the open horizon and more of the moonlit cove. For those who admire the play of Australian opal or the labradorescence of Labradorite, the comparison is a conversation about motion and restraint, this Madagascar moonstone does not scatter color like an opal, it concentrates a single blue flash, a silvery sapphire glow, intimate and serene.

Imagine this gem set upon a slender band or cradled in a pendant, a solitary blue flare that reads as devotion, and know that every glance will find new music in the stone, a quiet poem of light. The cabochon cut invites touch and closeness, the very slightly included clarity gives the piece a natural character, reminders of earth and origin, while the excellent polish allows the adularescence to sing, all of it untouched by enhancement, an honest offering from Madagascar. When you hold this 2.30 carat round blue flash moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, you hold a fragment of night and ocean, a gem that suggests the soft blue of Ceylon moonlight, the hush of a Kashmir tone, and the coastal grace of Brazilian sea glass, all tempered into a singular, wearable dream. Let it be an engagement whisper, a gift that marks a beginning, or a private talisman, an heirloom in the making, a stone that will continue to reveal its heart as it travels with you, steady and luminous.
