12.70 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When it comes to selecting a gemstone, the unique reflective qualities can be a defining feature that sets one apart from the rest. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we offer a stunning 12.70 carat grey moonstone that exhibits unparalleled reflective qualities, making it a standout choice among other gemstones in its category. This moonstone, with its translucent allure, boasts dimensions of 15.14 x 11.55 x 9.87 mm, and has been carefully crafted in an elegant oval shape with a cabochon cut. By choosing this gem, you're not only choosing an exceptionally beautiful piece but also one with superior characteristics.

What truly distinguishes this grey moonstone from others is its captivating light play, known as adularescence. While many gemstones rely on their color or clarity to shine, moonstone offers a unique dance of light across its surface. This phenomenon can be understood as a soft billowy reflection that glides across the stone's dome, like moonbeams playing on water at twilight. In comparison, other gemstones such as labradorite or opal, although stunning in their ways, often present either direct and more vivid color displays or more distinct rainbow flashes. However, if you're seeking elegance that whispers rather than shouts, our grey moonstone's subdued sheen outshines its peers with its subtlety and elegance.

Let's also examine the purity of the stone's creation which has a clarity grade of eye clean. This grading implies that the gem appears flawless to the naked eye, free from any inclusions that could detract from its beauty. Many moonstones on the market can be encumbered with cloudiness or structural flaws that diminish their visual impact. In contrast, our moonstone stands out by offering a pristine visual experience, enrichened by its light color intensity that does not overpower its inherent glow. Additionally, sourced from Ceylon, or modern-day Sri Lanka, it carries a rich pedigree as this region has birthed some of the finest gemstones revered globally.

The aesthetic of this gemstone is amplified by its excellent polish which enhances its surface and allows it to display its magical luminescence to the highest degree. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we ensure that our moonstones are treated with the care and craftsmanship they deserve—free from any enhancements. This dedication to maintaining the stone's natural beauty guarantees that you are acquiring an authentic piece that retains all of its native allure. When you choose our 12.70 carat grey moonstone, you choose a gemstone that embodies the quintessence of natural elegance and world-class quality, setting it apart as truly superior in the realm of reflective sophistication.
