10.64 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the verdant hills of Ceylon known to many as Sri Lanka, this orange moonstone began its slow story millions of years ago, forged in the subtle chemistry of orthoclase feldspar and shaped by time into a gem that seems to hold a small dawn within it. Miners working traditional pockets in weathered bedrock carefully extract nodules that reveal this warm, sunset hue. Local families have long valued moonstone for its calming beauty and its place in cultural rituals, and this particular specimen carries that quiet legacy. When I first inspected it for The Natural Gemstone Company the translucence immediately drew me in, a soft glow like candlelight through silk, promising a connection to both nature and human hands that cherish it.

Every stage after the mine is a pact between respect for the stone and the skill of the artisan, and this oval shape, cabochon cut moonstone is a product of that pact. Weighing 10.64 carats, and measuring 16.02 by 12.12 by 7.83 millimeters, it presents with intense color intensity and a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which lends character without compromising the gem s overall serenity. No enhancement has been applied, ensuring the color and internal structure are entirely natural. Expert cutters in our trusted workshop worked the cabochon profile to maximize the stone s gentle glow, and a final excellent polish produces reflections that move like soft waves across its surface. The result is a gemstone that reads as both ancient and immediate, ideal for a pendant that rests near the heart or a ring that invites touch. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor the full journey of each stone, from the miners who uncover it in Ceylon to the craftsmen who shape it, and to the wearer who will bring it into daily life. If you seek a stone with provenance, warmth, and a handcrafted finish, this orange moonstone offers a story you can carry, and we are here to guide you through its next chapter.
