12.70 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 12.70 carat round shape peach moonstone is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, a gem that exemplifies soft elegance and natural charm. This gem measures 13.86 x 13.78 x 9.12 mm, and it has been cabochon cut to bring out its characteristic silky sheen and subtle adularescence. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the stone presents with exceptional visual purity to the casual observer while retaining natural internal characteristics that speak to its authenticity. The color intensity is light, presenting a delicate peach tone that shifts gently with changes in light, and the polish is excellent, creating a lustrous surface that enhances both wearability and visual appeal. There has been no enhancement to this moonstone, ensuring that what you see is the stone in its natural state, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing moonstones with refined color and classic translucence.

Visually, this peach moonstone offers a tranquil, almost ethereal presence, the kind of gem that wears well on its own and also partners beautifully with other materials in fine jewelry design. The cabochon cut is the ideal style for moonstone, as it cultivates a smooth dome that allows light to play across the internal structure, producing the soft, floating sheen that moonstone lovers prize. At 12.70 carat, this round stone has enough substance to serve as a striking center for a pendant, a classic solitaire ring, or a dramatic pair of matching drop earrings when paired with a complementary second stone. The light peach coloration reads as warm and romantic, making it especially well suited to rose gold settings, and it also pairs elegantly with yellow gold for a vintage inspired look or with cool silver and white gold for understated, modern designs. The very slightly included clarity means the stone maintains a clean appearance while preserving the little natural inclusions that confirm its genuineness.

From a gemological standpoint, this moonstone reflects the careful selection and refinement practices of The Natural Gemstone Company. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, known for its long history of quality gem production, the stone has been polished to an excellent finish without recourse to heating, coating, dyeing, or other enhancements. The cabochon work was executed to keep the dome proportionate to the diameter so that the adularescence reads evenly across the surface, and the dimensions 13.86 x 13.78 x 9.12 mm provide an ideal profile for secure bezel or prong settings. Moonstone typically ranks around 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, so while it can be set in everyday jewelry, it benefits from thoughtful design choices that protect the dome from sharp knocks and abrasive contact. Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth will maintain its polish and glow, and we recommend avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and steam treatments, as well as exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes, to preserve the stone in its original condition.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company, I invite you to consider this peach moonstone if you seek a natural, unenhanced gem with a soft luminous personality and a provenance rooted in traditional gem producing terrain. The very slightly included clarity gives the stone character and authenticity, while the excellent polish and careful cabochon cutting make it an excellent candidate for fine jewelry that will be cherished.
