2.55 Ct. Moonstone from Madagascar

There is a quiet magic in this oval rainbow moonstone, a 2.55 carat heart of soft light that seems to gather evening skies and fold them into glass. Semi transparent and cut to a graceful oval that measures 9.65 x 7.50 x 6.29 mm, this gem carries a mixed brilliant cut that wakes and guides the inner fireplay known as adularescence. The surface is an excellent polish, every facet singing in silvered tones, and the body shows a medium light color intensity that allows moonlight tones to breathe freely through the stone. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, a tender honesty that makes the moonstone feel alive and real rather than clinical, and the gem comes to you exactly as the earth formed it, no enhancement. Sourced from Madagascar, a place renowned for fine feldspars, this piece arrives to you with provenance and poetry, a luminous keepsake that comes with the quiet authority of natural origin, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this luminous companion for your most intimate designs.

Beneath its ethereal glow the moonstone is grounded by real world durability, a balance of softness and resilience that makes it ideal for everyday wear when set with care. With a Mohs hardness near six to six and a half the gem resists everyday scratches from softer materials and will retain its polish and sparkle through the rhythms of daily life, while the mixed brilliant cut helps disperse stresses across many small facets rather than leaving the stone vulnerable at a single flat plane. The very slightly included clarity grade means that there are minimal internal features, visible only with a careful eye, which speaks to structural stability for use in rings or pendants that see regular wear. Because moonstone is part of the feldspar family and has natural planes of cleavage, choosing a protective setting is the smart and elegant way to ensure a lifetime of beauty. A warm bezel that embraces the oval contour, a subtle halo of small accent stones that cushion the crown, or a low profile setting that tucks the gem closer to the finger will protect the edges and face from hard knocks and accidental impact. For cleaning, gentle care is the kindest choice, use warm water with mild soap and a soft brush, dry with a soft cloth, avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners, and remove the piece for heavy manual work, intense sports, or exposure to harsh chemicals, perfume, or chlorine. With these simple practices and thoughtful mounting, this moonstone is more than an occasional treasure, it becomes a daily talisman that will glow with the life you give it.

Imagine this oval moonstone cupped in a ring, a pendant, or a pair of earrings, turning routine gestures into moments of quiet wonder. Every morning light will be answered by that cool shimmer, and every evening you will feel as if the first small moon rose at your side. The medium light color intensity keeps the gem luminous without overwhelming the design, making it a sublime choice for engagement jewelry, for a promise kept, for a gift that marks a journey. At The Natural Gemstone Company we see this stone as both a technical marvel and a tender story, a gem whose mixed brilliant facets and excellent polish will translate into a jewel that endures, a piece you can wear to work and to celebration, to the kitchen table and to the altar. If you wish we can advise on settings that offer the most protection and the most romance, suggest metal pairings that will heighten its cool lunar fire, and arrange for secure mounting so that this 2.55 carat oval, offered in its natural, unenhanced state from Madagascar, becomes the daily worn center of your personal constellation.
