11.13 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a gentle rumor of moonlight in the heart of this gemstone, a soft, peach tide that seems to breathe and move when held to the eye. This translucent oval moonstone weighs 11.13 carat, and measures 17.02 by 12.40 by 7.26 mm, a generous size that announces its presence without shouting. Cut as a cabochon with an excellent polish, it wears a smooth domed surface that captures and returns light like the curved surface of a quiet sea. The color intensity is intense, a warm, peachy halo that glows from within, and at eye level the stone is eye clean, a clarity that allows the inner light to travel untroubled. Sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and untouched by enhancements, this moonstone carries both provenance and purity, a genuine treasure for those who seek something sincere and singular.

For the jeweller who dreams in silhouette and whisper, the oval shape and the substantial dimensions of this stone make it a perfect protagonist for custom work. The elongated 17.02 by 12.40 mm profile sits beautifully on a finger, where the oval axis can lengthen and flatter the hand, or it can become a heart stealing pendant, suspended in a bezel that cradles the cabochon and lets its adularescence revolve like a captured moon. Its 7.26 mm depth gives it satisfying presence, enough room for the internal glow to travel and refract without the flatness that diminishes a cabochon. Because the stone is eye clean, settings can be designed to showcase the clarity rather than hide it, allowing prongs or a fine bezel to frame the gem like the rim of a secret. Designers will find the peach tone harmonizes with warm metals, such as rose gold, for an intimate, skinlike glow, or with cool white metals for a modern contrast. The oval silhouette invites halos of tiny accent stones, asymmetric accents, or sculptural metalwork that echoes the stone s gentle curve. It is a canvas waiting for a vision, a center that is simultaneously bold and tender.

When you choose this moonstone for a bespoke creation, you choose an heirloom in the making, a piece that will gather stories and quiet vows. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select such gems with an eye for personality and a respect for origin, presenting stones that are as honest as they are beautiful. Unenhanced, naturally radiant, and superbly polished, this moonstone asks to be set with intention. Imagine an engagement ring where the peach glow seems to pulse in time with a heartbeat, or a pendant that rests against the collarbone and catches the light at every turn, recalling moonlit walks and whispered promises. Imagine a bespoke brooch, a signet, a pair of earrings, each design allowing the cabochon to speak, to cast its gentle luminescence, to carry meaning from one wearer to the next. We stand ready to consult on creative choices, to advise on prong counts and bezel widths, on metal pairings that will sing with the peach hue, and on the practicalities that protect and preserve a cabochon of this size and softness.

This moonstone is more than a gem, it is an invitation, a soft and steady glow that calls for the careful hand of a maker and the open heart of someone who treasures stories. Its weight and oval form make it ideal for a singular center, its translucency and polish make it a living light, and its Ceylon origin and lack of enhancement make it honest and rare. Commission a custom piece that honors its poetry, choose settings that celebrate its curves, and let this 11.13 carat oval moonstone become the luminous heart of an expression that is uniquely yours. At The Natural Gemstone Company we will curate the process with reverence and skill, guiding each step so that the finished jewel holds both design and devotion, a compact moon to wear, a private light to cherish.
