11.44 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Allow me to present a singular treasure from The Natural Gemstone Company, a luminous orange moonstone that speaks to a refined sensibility, and to an appreciation for rare natural beauty. This cabochon cut oval rests in the memory like a soft sunset, its translucent body bathing in a warm peach to apricot tone that is at once gentle and vivid. The hue carries a medium intense color presence without overwhelming the eye, allowing the stone to reveal subtle internal depth as it catches ambient light. There is a gentle adularescent shimmer when the stone is moved, a satin like glow that plays across the dome and enhances the moonstone character, suggesting both mystery and restraint. For the collector who seeks a gem that reads as both intimate and declarative, this moonstone performs with quiet authority, a statement that speaks of taste rather than ostentation.

From a technical and gemological perspective this piece is exceptional. It weighs 11.44 carats, and measures 16.04 x 11.96 x 8.31 mm, proportions that are generous for a cabochon and perfect for a signature ring or a pendant that commands attention. The cut is a smooth, high dome cabochon, executed to allow the stone to show its color and internal sheen with maximum effect, and the polish has been graded excellent, producing a glass like surface that invites close admiration. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, which in practice reads as extremely clean to the naked eye, preserving the purity of tone and the softness of the shimmer. The origin of this moonstone is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing moonstones with refined color and a natural purity of tone. There are no enhancements, the material is completely natural, and that provenance combined with the unenhanced state adds a dimension of authenticity that discerning buyers understand and value.

Imagine this oval set in a bespoke design that honors the stone rather than competing with it, a warm gold bezel that amplifies its orange glow, or a sleek platinum mount that frames the soft color with contemporary restraint. A ring created around this gem will not merely accessorize an outfit, it will mark an occasion, it will be the heirloom that begins a story. To wear this moonstone is to signal a cultivated eye, and to own it is to claim a moment of rarity, a piece that will be sought for the emotional response it evokes as much as for its technical merit. At The Natural Gemstone Company we steward these rare stones with meticulous care, and we are pleased to offer guidance on setting options, bespoke commissions, or pairing advice to ensure the final piece reflects your individual aesthetic. This orange moonstone is more than a gemstone, it is a personal signature, a tactile expression of refinement, and a lasting reflection of achievement, offered with the assurance of natural origin and impeccable finishing.
