10.67 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the soft, humid hills of Ceylon Sri Lanka comes a moonstone that carries the island's slow, patient rhythms within its translucent heart. Mined by artisans who know the old paths and the old rules of working with feldspar, this brown moonstone began as a pocket of layered mineral hidden in metamorphic rock, shaped by heat and pressure over eons. Local miners in Sri Lanka have long respected the land and its stories, gathering crystals with care and passing along quiet rituals that honor the stone before it leaves the ridge. That lineage is visible in the gem itself, a luminous oval that has kept the gentle warmth of the earth, a stone that has known tide and weather, and now holds the memory of its origin in every subtle play of light. In many cultures of the region moonstone is associated with calm, renewal, and a connection to lunar time, and this Ceylon example joins that tradition while offering a distinctly earthy brown translucence and a serene presence.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this single, beautiful translucent 10.67 carat oval brown moonstone with dimensions 13.53 millimeters by 10.53 millimeters by 10.30 millimeters, cabochon cut to reveal a soft internal glow, clarity graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, light color intensity, and an excellent polish that gives the dome a silky surface. There has been no enhancement, the gem is completely natural, and the cabochon shaping was done to respect the stone's internal structure and to showcase its color and translucency. Imagine this gem as the centerpiece of a pendant or a ring, set to catch lamplight and daylight alike, its warmth contrasting with cool metals or complementing warm gold. Our gem cutters worked to keep the oval proportions balanced, preserving weight while achieving a smooth dome that reads as elegant and meditative. If you seek a moonstone that tells a story from Ceylon's soil to a finished jewel, that offers provenance, honest clarity, and a peaceful aesthetic, this stone embodies that journey, and we at The Natural Gemstone Company are ready to share more about its origins and the best settings to honor its character.
