11.01 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a soft sunrise captured in stone, a gem that seems to breathe with a tender inner light. This is the feeling you get when you set your hands on this beautiful peach moonstone from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a treasure carefully selected for its gentle glow and natural charm by The Natural Gemstone Company. Weighing 11.01 carats, and shaped into an elegant oval, this semi translucent cabochon measures 17.57 x 8.68 x 10.05 millimeters, dimensions that make it a striking centerpiece whether set into a pendant that brushes the heart, or into a ring that catches the eye and the imagination. The delicate peach hue and medium light color intensity lend it a warmth that feels like the promise of a new day, the kind of color that invites touch and inspires soft spoken compliments. Because it has no enhancement, every tone and nuance you see is the true voice of the earth, and because the polish is excellent, that voice arrives with a satin finish that amplifies every whisper of light within the stone.

As someone who lives and breathes gemstones, I want to point out the details that matter when you choose something meant to become an heirloom. The cabochon cut of this moonstone is perfect for showcasing the gem crystal structure that creates adularescence, the shimmering play of light that seems to float just beneath the surface. The semi translucent body allows that inner light to move as you tilt and wear the piece, producing moments that feel almost alive. Our clarity grading places this stone at very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, which means it offers natural character without distracting flaws, and it reads to the naked eye as a clean, luminous surface. The excellent polish ensures comfort against the skin and makes the gem sing with soft reflections. Because there is no enhancement, this moonstone keeps its authenticity and integrity intact, and because it originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it carries the legacy of one of the world’s most respected sources for fine moonstones.

Think about the memories you want to create, the milestone moments that deserve a jewel that feels as honest and warm as the emotions behind them. This peach moonstone will soften an anniversary, transform a proposal into a quiet poem, and become a companion through everyday triumphs and gentle consolations. Wearing this gem is like keeping a small sunrise close to your heart, a constant reminder of generosity and affection. For a designer piece, the oval shape and generous size give jewelers plenty of creative freedom to frame the gem in yellow gold to enhance the peach tones, or in rose gold to whisper romance. A bezel setting will protect the cabochon and cradle its dome so the light plays across the surface with every movement. As a pendant, it will swing with a subtle, luminous pulse. As a ring, it will become a conversation starter, a personal talisman that gathers stories.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate gems with intention, and we take care to present pieces that are naturally beautiful and ethically sourced. This moonstone is uncompromised, with no enhancements, and it presents a medium light color intensity that strikes a perfect balance between presence and understatement. The dimensions, 17.57 by 8.68 by 10.05 millimeters, and the carat weight of 11.01 ensure presence without overpowering the wearer, and the very very slightly included clarity gives the gem an organic authenticity that only increases with age. Caring for a moonstone is simple, and thoughtful maintenance will preserve its glow. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, clean with a soft cloth and mild soap and water when needed, and store it separately to protect the excellent polish from harder gemstones. With attentive care this peach moonstone will remain a living link to the moment you chose it, an intimate and lasting keepsake.
