12.00 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 12.00 carat oval shape grey moonstone is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, measuring 16.39 x 11.00 x 8.95 mm, presenting a classic cabochon cut that highlights the gem fluidly. The gem displays a delicate grey body tone with light color intensity, and a gentle adularescence that appears as a soft, moonlit sheen when the stone is moved under light. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to most observers while retaining natural character, and the surface shows an excellent polish that enhances luster and tactile smoothness. No enhancement has been applied to this moonstone, and the origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing specimens with good adularescence and pleasing body tones. The oval proportions and cabochon dome are ideal for creating a focal point in a variety of jewelry designs, and the thoughtful cut and finish maximize visual appeal while preserving weight for presence.

This moonstone is well suited for a range of settings, including an elegant pendant, a classic cocktail ring, or a refined pair of earrings, and its 12.00 carat weight offers substantial size without overwhelming design balance. The subdued grey tone pairs beautifully with warm metals such as yellow gold for contrast, and with cool metals such as white gold and platinum for a harmonious monochrome look, and for designers seeking a vintage or bohemian aesthetic this stone provides versatility. Care recommendations include avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme heat, cleaning gently with warm water and mild soap and a soft cloth, and avoiding ultrasonic cleaners to preserve clarity and polish. If you would like assistance with custom design ideas, mounting suggestions, or gem pairings to complement this moonstone, The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to provide expert guidance, secure shipping, and appraisal support, ensuring you receive a thoughtfully presented gem that reflects natural beauty and craftsmanship.
