11.77 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent 11.77 carat oval peach moonstone from Ceylon is a standout piece offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, it measures 14.16 by 12.86 by 9.14 millimeters, it has a smooth cabochon cut that showcases the stone s innate glow, its clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level which means it reads clean to most observers, its color intensity is medium light yielding a soft, warm peach that complements both yellow and white metals, its polish is excellent and the surface finish is superb, importantly this moonstone has no enhancement, it is completely natural and free from treatments that could alter its appearance or long term stability, provenance from Sri Lanka gives it an added layer of desirability because Ceylon has a reputation for producing some of the finest moonstones in the world.

When compared to the more common white or blue adularescent moonstones, this peach variety offers a unique warmth and versatility that sets it apart, while blue sheen moonstones are prized for their cool flash, peach moonstone reads as elegant and wearable in everyday jewelry and it partners particularly well with rose and yellow gold, the cabochon cut is the traditional and best choice for moonstone because it allows the stone s internal schiller to move freely under the light, unlike faceted stones where light is reflected off flat facets, this cabochon has been shaped to maximize its internal glow and to show a broad, even plane of color, in comparison with lower grade material that may be heavily included or milky, this example at 11.77 carats provides a rare combination of substantial size and pleasing clarity, buyers who have compared similar sizes on the market will recognize the advantage a clean eye level grade provides in finished jewelry.

Against treated, dyed, or synthetic alternatives this natural Sri Lankan moonstone delivers superior value and long term satisfaction, treatments can temporarily improve color or clarity but they compromise authenticity and can fade or alter under heat and chemicals, synthetic stones lack the natural chatoyancy and internal textures that make a moonstone interesting and alive, if you are considering other pale gems such as rose quartz, morganite, or certain types of opal, note that this peach moonstone offers a different kind of optical appeal, it is defined by soft translucence and play of light rather than by pure transparency or vibrant color, compared to Brazilian or Madagascan material this Ceylon example often exhibits a cleaner tone and a more refined surface finish, for designers and collectors who value ethical sourcing and untouched natural beauty, an unenhanced moonstone of this size and cut from Sri Lanka represents a rare and defensible purchase that will sit confidently in a ring center, pendant, or bespoke statement piece.
