11.71 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent peach moonstone from Ceylon is a rare and elegant choice for collectors and designers, weighing 11.71 carats, with an oval shape and precise dimensions of 15.45 x 10.85 x 8.56 mm. The stone is cabochon cut, which is the preferred cut for moonstone because it enhances the gem's soft internal glow and silk like surface, and it has a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, light color intensity, and an excellent polish. Unlike many smaller or more included specimens on the market, this piece displays clean translucence and an even peach tone that reads richer and more refined in settings, and because it is natural with no enhancement, the color and texture are authentic and stable. From The Natural Gemstone Company, this moonstone is presented with full disclosure of its origin, cut, and condition, offering confidence that the gem you receive is unaltered and hand selected for its balance of size and optical appeal.

Compared to other moonstones commonly available, this Ceylon origin gem stands out in three practical ways, quality, value, and versatility. Quality wise, many market pieces are smaller, heavily included, or treated to intensify color, which can compromise durability and resale value, whereas this 11.71 carat cabochon is large enough to be the focal point of a ring or pendant, with inclusions minimal at standard viewing distances and with an excellent polish that maximizes surface sheen. In terms of value, untreated Sri Lankan moonstones of this size are less common than material from other sources, making this stone a more attractive long term investment than mass produced or lab enhanced alternatives. For versatility, the classic oval cabochon shape and measured proportions make it straightforward to set in a variety of styles, from minimalist bezel settings to artisan halo designs, and the light peach hue pairs well with both warm and cool metals. When you choose this moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, you are selecting a natural, well proportioned, and responsibly sourced gem that outperforms typical market options in clarity, integrity, and aesthetic refinement.
