Mined from deep within the earth, then lovingly hand-faceted into a magnificent cushion cut to reveal its exquisite hidden adularescence, let this 2.40ct Rainbow Moonstone be your moment-defining treasure.
Faceting moonstone into popular gem shapes with a modified brilliant cut is a new technique, as traditionally, moonstone was always formed into a cabochon by the lapidarist. This gem originated from a Sri Lankan gem merchant who ventured to Madagascar to source the moonstone rough and then imported it into Sri Lanka to be expertly cut. We came across his booth at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show 2024, and were immediately captivated by the splendid adularescence and play on colour these gems exhibit. We couldn't resist acquiring a selection of rainbow pieces for The Sapphire Merchant collection.
The experts at GRA Gemological Lab carefully assessed and certified this rainbow moonstone to ensure its authenticity, giving you assured confidence in your precious gemstone investment.
Whether you are creating the ultimate gift of self-love or a proclamation of devotion, such as an engagement ring, we entwine your nuanced needs with our creativity. Let this rare Malagasy rainbow moonstone honor your story, by allowing us the privilege of hand-crafting it into a bespoke, artisan jewellery piece, marking a moment of significance in your life for now and for generations to come.

Feldspar
Feldspar is a group of rock-forming minerals that make up about 60% of the Earth's crust. It is an aluminosilicate mineral containing varying amounts of potassium, sodium, and calcium. These minerals are formed in a variety of geological environments, including igneous rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks, providing a rich diversity of feldspar types.
Gem-quality feldspar is a group of minerals that exhibit qualities that make them suitable for use as a gemstone, in particular, moonstone and sunstone. These feldspars not only display exceptional clarity and colour but also unique optical phenomena that are sure to intrigue and fascinate. Some notable varieties include moonstone, which shows a glowing adularescence; sunstone, which has a shimmering aventurescence; and labradorite, known for its striking labradorescence with flashes of blue, green, and gold. These gemstones have a rich historical and cultural significance, often being used in ancient civilizations for their believed mystical and healing properties.
These gemstones, with their unique optical phenomena and vibrant colours, are fashioned and polished in various ways, including cabochons and faceted gem cuts, to accentuate their distinctive visual effects.
