11.03 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Moonstone is a gemstone that carries the weight of ages, a stone that has been admired across cultures for its quiet glow and timeless presence. This beautiful translucent brown moonstone speaks to that lineage, its warm tones calling to mind the sunlit hills and ancient trade routes of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. Fashioned into a classic oval cabochon, it expresses an understated elegance that has been favored by collectors and connoisseurs for centuries. The soft shimmer that emerges within its depths is not a fleeting effect, it is a memory of earth and time, a subtle play of light that seems to move with the wearer and with the light. For those who cherish tradition and legacy, this moonstone offers a link to the past and a promise that a piece like this can be handed down, continuing a story that began long before modern fashion.

As presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this single translucent brown moonstone weighs 11.03 carat, and measures 13.73 x 11.07 x 9.98 mm, a proportion that lends itself beautifully to rings and pendants where the cabochon cut can be admired from every angle. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, ensuring a natural character without detracting from its luminous surface. Color intensity is medium, a balanced brown that reads as warm and versatile in both classical and contemporary settings. The polish is excellent, giving the surface a mirror like finish that enhances the stone s inner glow. There is no enhancement, the gem presents as it was formed, free from treatments, and its origin in Ceylon aligns it with a long tradition of fine moonstone discovery and craftsmanship. This moonstone will set beautifully in a traditional bezel or in a vintage inspired mount that honors its heritage, and it will also bring a sense of historical depth to modern minimalist designs.
