10.79 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing an exquisite gem from The Natural Gemstone Company, this remarkable translucent yellow moonstone offers a visual feast that captivates both novice and seasoned gemstone enthusiasts alike. Weighing 10.79 carats, its dimensions of 13.28 x 13.47 x 7.88 mm promise substantial presence and elegance. The cabochon cut, a hallmark of sophistication, enhances the stone's inherent luminosity and ethereal sheen. This facet-less style, unlike the more common faceted cuts of gemstones like diamonds and sapphires, gives the moonstone a soft, uninterrupted visual flow that accentuates its mystical glow.

Evaluated with a clarity grade of very slightly included at eye level, the moonstone exhibits minimal inclusions, which are almost imperceptible and do not detract from its overall appearance. Instead, these slight inclusions lend an authentic touch, showcasing its natural formation. Its very light color intensity adds a gentle, soothing hue, reminiscent of moonlight dancing on a calm sea, distinguishing it from more vibrant stones, yet offering a unique subtlety that stands the test of time. The gemstone's excellent polish ensures a smooth, velvety surface, maximizing its lustrous appeal.

One of the standout attributes of this moonstone is its lack of enhancement, a rare and respected characteristic in the gemstone world. Untouched by external treatments, this gem reflects its pure origin, offering buyers a piece that is as authentic as it is beautiful. Derived from the renowned gemstone mines of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), this moonstone not only carries a piece of geological history but also is a testament to its pristine provenance.

In comparison to more common gemstones such as diamonds and rubies, this moonstone offers a distinct kind of brilliance. While diamonds are celebrated for their sparkle and refractive light, the moonstone exudes a tranquil glow, a lesser-seen enchantment that captivates those who behold it. This play of light, known as adularescence, is a characteristic unique to moonstones, providing a shimmering effect that seems to radiate from within. It is this quality that makes our Ceylon moonstone an exceptional choice for collectors and gemstone connoisseurs seeking something extraordinary.

The Natural Gemstone Company takes great pride in presenting this moonstone to you. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and natural beauty ensures that every gemstone tells a story as unique as its beholder. With the expertise that comes from years in the gemstone business, we know that our yellow moonstone is more than a mere ornament—it is a celebration of nature’s artistry, waiting to enrich your collection.
