11.01 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a singular peach moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, a semi translucent beauty weighing 11.01 carats, with dimensions of 17.57 x 8.68 x 10.05 mm. This oval shaped gem is skillfully fashioned as a cabochon, showcasing a soft peach hue with medium light color intensity and an elegant, calming presence. The stone is evaluated at eye level and graded very very slightly included, which means it appears clean to the naked eye while retaining a natural character that collectors and designers often prize. The polish is excellent, producing a smooth, glass like surface that enhances the gentle glow and subtle play of light typical of fine moonstone. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this piece is untreated, with no enhancement, allowing the natural formation and color of the mineral to speak for itself. Photographs capture the warm, creamy tones and the soft internal shimmer that make this gem versatile for both classic and contemporary jewelry. Whether you are seeking a statement cabochon for a bespoke ring, a luminous center stone for a pendant, or an elegant accent in a designer cuff, this peach moonstone offers an attractive balance of size, surface quality, and natural charm.

The cabochon cut is particularly well suited to moonstone because it showcases internal phenomena and yields a smooth, domed face that plays with light, producing a soft sheen that can appear to move as the gem turns. At 11.01 carats and with the generous dimensions listed, this oval cabochon is substantial enough to stand alone as a focal piece, yet refined enough to be incorporated into more delicate designs. The very very slightly included clarity at eye level means that under normal viewing conditions the gem reads as clean, while microscopic or loupe magnification may reveal small, natural inclusions that confirm its natural origin. The excellent polish ensures that the surface is free of pits and abrasions, enhancing comfort for wear and ease of setting. For settings, we recommend protective bezel mounts for rings to safeguard the dome and reduce exposure to knocks, while prong settings can be beautifully used in pendants and earrings where the cabochon is less likely to encounter impact. The soft peach palette pairs beautifully with warm metals such as rose gold and yellow gold, while a cool white metal like platinum or white gold can create a sophisticated modern contrast.

Ceylon Sri Lanka has a long standing history as a source of fine gem material, and this peach moonstone reflects the island known for its steady supply of high quality specimens, skilled lapidary work, and a heritage of careful selection. The fact that this gem is unenhanced is an important selling point, especially for collectors and those who value natural state gemstones, as many moonstones on the market may be treated to alter color or stability. In terms of durability, moonstone has a Mohs hardness of about 6 to 6.5, so thoughtful design and everyday care will keep the gem looking its best. Avoid harsh knocks, extreme temperature changes, and prolonged exposure to chemicals, and clean gently with lukewarm water and a soft cloth. Ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning are not recommended, because the stone can be sensitive to such treatments. For storage, keep this moonstone in a separate pouch or compartment to prevent abrasion from harder gemstones and metals. The natural adularescence and creamy peach tone make this gem particularly flattering against the skin, and it photographs well for those who wish to showcase their piece on social platforms or in a portfolio.
