11.26 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a sliver of twilight held in the palm of your hand, a quiet orb that carries the hush of moonlight filtered through warm earth. This brown moonstone, a translucent treasure weighing 11.26 carat, rises like a softened planet in an oval silhouette, its cabochon dome smoothing every thought into a gentle reflection. At 13.97 by 11.41 by 9.61 millimeters, it is substantial enough to anchor a promise, yet intimate enough to nestle against the skin and keep secrets. The color is a medium intense brown that breathes warmth rather than shadow, a tone that shifts with the light and invites the eye to linger. Very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, it bears the tiny whispers of nature like faint brushstrokes on a painted horizon, and its excellent polish lets each curve capture and release light like a slow inhale. No enhancement and born of the storied soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem is honest and whole, a natural poem waiting to be set.

As a steward of fine stones at The Natural Gemstone Company, I find that this moonstone is perfect for a setting that honors its soft command, a gold bezel for everyday devotion, or a delicate halo to turn its warm translucence into a constant, luminous companion. The cabochon cut enhances the gemory of its surface, offering a calm, undulating glow rather than a fractured blaze, and its clarity invites touch without fear, a character both rare and reassuring. If you imagine a ring that speaks of quiet promises, or a pendant that holds the memory of a dusk, this 11.26 carat oval brown moonstone from Ceylon will answer with a subtle, steadfast light. I am here to guide you through mounting options, and to ensure that the natural beauty of this stone is honored in every detail, from the gentle curve of the setting to the way its face catches the room when you enter.
