12.02 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent grey moonstone weighs 12.02 carat and is fashioned into an elegant oval, measuring 15.81 x 13.89 x 8.45 mm, presented as a smooth cabochon cut to optimize its optical qualities. The material displays a light color intensity and a clarity grade assessed as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, reflecting minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from the stone's overall appearance. The dome exhibits subtle adularescence that interacts with the grey body tone, and the surface presents an excellent polish that enhances light return and tactile refinement. There has been no enhancement applied to this specimen, confirming its natural state and stable visual character.

The origin of this moonstone, Ceylon Sri Lanka, contributes materially to its significance and value. Sri Lanka has a long established reputation for producing moonstones with clean translucency and refined adularescence, a combination that is prized by connoisseurs and lapidaries alike. Provenance from Ceylon signals a geological source known for stones that respond well to cabochon cutting and that historically command attention in the market for their balance of color and shimmer. For collectors and designers seeking reliable material for fine jewellery, the Sri Lankan origin provides provenance value, supporting both aesthetic confidence and market recognition. At The Natural Gemstone Company this moonstone is offered with transparent grading and description, and with attention to exact dimensions and characteristics that matter to gem professionals. The result is a naturally formed, unenhanced gemstone that combines measured physical specifications with a provenance that enhances its desirability and long term appeal.
