12.43 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One extraordinary offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, this beautiful translucent yellow moonstone presents itself as a rare and refined treasure for collectors and connoisseurs alike, weighing 12.43 carats and shaped into a classic round form that measures 16.00 by 15.90 by 7.05 millimeters. Cut as a traditional cabochon, its soft dome and harmonious proportions were chosen to best showcase the gemology and natural character of Ceylon moonstone, allowing the delicate internal glow to breathe and shift with every movement. The gem displays a light color intensity that reads as a serene, buttery yellow, a hue that is both gentle and undeniably distinctive, setting it apart from more common tones. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which speaks to the stone being essentially clean to the naked eye, while retaining natural inclusions that confirm its authenticity and natural origin. There has been absolutely no enhancement applied to this piece, the color, clarity, and transparency are entirely natural, and the polish is of excellent quality, producing a satiny sheen across the surface that amplifies its soft brilliance.

In examining this moonstone closely, one appreciates how the cabochon cut maximizes the interplay of light within the gem, producing a subtle inner luminescence that emulates moonlight, a characteristic treasured by collectors. The translucency allows light to pass through and reflect from internal layers in a way that is evocative and calming, rather than loud, which is precisely why this gem is so suited to bespoke jewelry that favors sophistication over flashiness. The measured dimensions give the stone a substantial presence when set, offering versatility for a refined cocktail ring, an elegant pendant, or a singular brooch designed to highlight the dome and its soft glow. With a weight of 12.43 carats, the piece carries a presence that is seldom encountered in such a pure, unenhanced form from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing moonstones with tasteful color and a pleasing balance of translucence and body tone. These attributes combine to create a stone that feels both of the earth and of high art, ideal for those who seek something uncommon and enduring.
