10.21 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet kind of light that lives in this stone, a softened sunrise caught in a pillowed oval, a glow that seems to belong to the hush between heartbeats. Imagine a small moon distilled into a warm ember, a whisper of peach and honey that shifts like a secret when you tilt it toward the sky. This translucent orange moonstone carries a romance that is both ancient and immediate, something you can hold and wear and then rediscover in the morning light. It speaks in gentle pulses rather than blaze and offers comfort as much as fascination, a companion for vows and promises, a charm for the days when words fall short. As you cradle it, you can feel the patience of the earth in its soft domed surface and the careful hand that polished every contour until it returned a shine like a memory.

This gem is a single beautiful oval shape, weighing 10.21 carat, measuring 16.14 by 12.19 by 7.31 millimeters, cabochon cut to maximize its inner glow and tactile allure. It is translucent, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and it shows a medium intense color intensity that reads as warm orange with subtle depth. The polish is excellent, allowing the surface to play with light Iike water over pebbles, and there are no enhancements, no treatments to alter its true nature, no enhancement, it is as the earth made it. The origin of this moonstone is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that whispers of monsoon mists and timeworn rivers, and its provenance is noted with pride by The Natural Gemstone Company, whose care in sourcing ensures stones of honest beauty and character.

When you design around a stone like this, you are composing a love letter in metal and light. Envision this oval cradled in a ridge of warm rose gold, the soft blush of the metal echoing the stone sown with soft light, or imagine a slender bezel in yellow gold that frames the moonstone like a sunrise contained, or a delicate white gold or platinum setting that lets the glow float with ethereal coolness. Set as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, it will not shout demanding attention, it will draw conversation like a secret told with a smile, it will invite touch and quiet admiration. For a pendant it will hang like a small sun over the heart, for a ring it will become a daily talisman, for a custom heirloom it can be joined with tiny accent stones that catch the eye and highlight the stone without stealing its soft poetry.
