12.82 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent green moonstone is a rare and singular treasure, weighing 12.82 carats and measuring 19.61 x 15.03 x 6.08 mm, presented in an elegant oval cabochon cut that showcases its soft adularescent glow. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, with a medium color intensity and an excellent polish, this gem is entirely natural with no enhancement, sourced from the venerable mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka. Such a combination of size, clarity, and origin is seldom available, ensuring that the person who acquires this stone will join an exclusive circle of collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate original, museum quality material. The cabochon cut emphasizes the stone's internal sheen and smooth surfaces, creating an intimate and wearable presence that elevates any bespoke design. Offered directly by The Natural Gemstone Company, this moonstone is a single, distinctive piece that lends itself to custom commissions or to becoming the signature of a refined jewelry collection.

Despite moonstone being gentler than some of the harder gems, this specimen is exceptionally well suited to daily wear when set thoughtfully, and its inherent qualities make it resilient in everyday jewelry. Moonstone typically registers six to six and a half on the Mohs scale, and the cabochon form on this piece significantly reduces the risk of chipping by eliminating sharp facets, while the excellent polish provides a smooth surface that resists surface abrasion and collects less dirt. The eye clean clarity indicates minimal internal stress points, contributing to the stone's overall toughness, and the fact that it is unenhanced and untreated preserves its natural structural integrity. For daily use we recommend protective mounting styles such as a full bezel, low profile settings, or secure halo designs, which allow this moonstone to be worn confidently as a ring, pendant, or pair of statement earrings. Whether destined for a bespoke engagement piece, a treasured heirloom ring, or an everyday pendant, this green moonstone offers the rare combination of presence, practicality, and provenance.
