1.71 Ct. White Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent white moonstone began its journey deep within the historic gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where monsoon softened rock and revealed pockets of orthoclase that would one day glow under light. Mined by skilled hands who have worked these hills for generations, this oval shaped cabochon was selected for its even translucency and its soft adularescent sheen that seems to float across the surface. We cut and polished this stone to an elegant oval cabochon measuring 12.93 by 4.29 by 4.26 millimeters, and weighing 1.71 carat, keeping the form simple to showcase its near colorless body and excellent polish. No enhancement has been applied, which means the moonstone you see is unchanged from the moment it left the earth, only refined by artisanal lapidary work that honors the natural character of the material.

The internal inclusions that live within this moonstone are not flaws to hide, they are signature features that tell its origin story and add soul to the gem. At eye level the clarity is very very slightly included, which translates to delicate internal veils and a few tiny pinpoint features that create subtle textural depth and enhance the stone sense of glow when light moves across it. These inclusions act like fingerprints, unique markers that assure you of authenticity and provenance, and they contribute to the gem warm, organic personality when set into jewelry. Worn as a solitaire, bezel set, or in a simple pendant, this moonstone will offer a serene luminous presence that pairs beautifully with both warm yellow metals and cool white metals.
