11.51 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing describes one translucent brown moonstone, 11.51 carat, oval shape, with precise dimensions of 17.27 by 11.49 by 7.63 mm. The gem is fashioned as a cabochon cut, displaying a smooth domed profile and a softly diffused internal glow. Color is best described as a warm brown with medium intensity, offering an even distribution of tone across the surface. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level and graded as very slightly included, with fine internal features that are natural to moonstone and do not detract from overall visual appeal. The surface exhibits an excellent polish, contributing to a clean, reflective finish on the dome. This stone is natural and untreated, no enhancement. The origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a well known source for high quality feldspar gemstones, and the piece is offered through The Natural Gemstone Company.

Technical attributes make this moonstone appropriate for a variety of jewelry applications where a gently domed profile is desired. The combination of its substantial 11.51 carat weight and the cabochon cut emphasizes body color and translucency, rather than play of light that is typical of some other gem types. The very slightly included clarity means typical internal characteristics are present, and they are consistent with a natural, untreated material from its reported origin. The excellent polish and the even medium color intensity support a refined appearance when set in rings, pendants, or other fine jewelry. Care recommendations include avoiding prolonged exposure to heat and harsh chemicals, and storing separately to prevent abrasion of the polished dome. For further technical information, viewing under standardized lighting can help confirm the degree of translucency and the distribution of inclusions, and The Natural Gemstone Company is available to provide additional images and measurements upon request.
