101.73 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional opaque brown moonstone from Ceylon, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, stands apart from the common pale blue and white moonstones frequently offered on the market. At an impressive 101.73 carats and measuring 32.65 x 24.00 x 17.50 millimeters, its substantial oval cabochon profile delivers a commanding presence that smaller or faceted alternatives cannot match. The cabochon cut is purposefully chosen to maximize the stone’s smooth surface and internal glow, and the excellent polish produces a deep, even reflection that highlights the gem’s vivid color intensity. Unlike many commercial stones that undergo heating, dyeing, or other enhancements to mask imperfections or alter hue, this moonstone has no enhancement, preserving its natural character and making it a rarer find for collectors and designers who demand authenticity. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the clarity is superior for a gem of this size, offering visual purity without resorting to laboratory treatments that can compromise long term value.

When compared to lab-grown alternatives, heavily treated material, or smaller, lower grade moonstones, this Ceylon brown moonstone represents better long term value and uniqueness. Natural origin from Sri Lanka is synonymous with quality in the trade, and the combination of substantial carat weight, vivid color intensity, and careful cabochon shaping places this piece in a different league from mass-produced counterparts. Its opaque richness and understated sheen make it versatile for bold statement rings, sculptural pendants, or museum quality pieces where presence and provenance matter. For jewelers seeking a centerpiece that will read as both refined and distinctive, and for collectors prioritizing natural, untreated specimens, this moonstone delivers advantages in rarity, aesthetic impact, and resale stability. The Natural Gemstone Company brings this gem to the market with full transparency about its measurements, cut, clarity, and origin, allowing informed choices that prioritize authenticity, quality, and enduring appeal.
