10.75 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 10.75 carat oval peach moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka blends size, color, and natural character in a way that is hard to find in the market today, the cabochon cut measures 16.07 x 12.10 x 7.19 mm, and it displays a soft translucent body with light color intensity and an excellent polish. The clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning it reads as clean to the eye while still retaining the natural inclusions that authenticate origin and natural formation. Unlike many mass market stones that are heat treated, dyed, or oiled to enhance color, this specimen has no enhancement, so the warm peach tone and delicate translucency are wholly natural and stable.

Compared to other moonstones and alternative soft gemstones such as rose quartz or common opal, this peach moonstone stands out for its combination of translucency and surface finish, many lower quality moonstones are either too cloudy or heavily included which mutes their subtle shimmer, and many larger stones offered online sacrifice polish and proportion resulting in duller presentation. This piece from The Natural Gemstone Company benefits from precise cabochon shaping that maximizes its visual appeal, the dome height and oval proportions enhance light play and give the stone a lively yet gentle presence, and the excellent polish sets it apart from cabochons that show polish lines or poor symmetry. In terms of value, the absence of treatments and the reputable Sri Lankan origin make this a smarter long term purchase than treated stones that will change under cleaning or wear, collectors and designers will appreciate the integrity of a natural, unenhanced gem of this weight and dimension.

For jewelry designers and discerning buyers seeking a refined statement piece, this peach moonstone offers versatility and authenticity that many market alternatives cannot match, set as a solitaire it reads as elegant and modern, mounted with accents it balances larger compositions without overpowering, and as a collectible it represents a natural example from a classic locality. The Natural Gemstone Company sources and presents gems with clarity on origin and treatment, and this moonstone exemplifies our commitment to quality and honest value, if you are comparing options for cabochons in the 10 to 12 mm range, this 16.07 x 12.10 x 7.19 mm oval deserves priority for its size, natural tone, and excellent finish.
