13.16 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One exquisite translucent 13.16 carat oval shape peach moonstone awaits you from The Natural Gemstone Company, a gem that combines soft color and classic cabochon form to create a piece of wearable art. With measurements of 16.80 x 12.49 x 8.08 mm, this moonstone sits comfortably as a center gem for a ring or pendant, offering a presence that is both noticeable and refined. The cabochon cut has been selected and executed to showcase the stone quality and to enhance the subtle internal glow that moonstones are celebrated for. The tone is a gentle peach, with medium light color intensity that flatters many skin tones without overpowering a design. Transparency is translucent, allowing light to play beneath the surface and reveal a calming, creamy appearance that can range from soft peach to almost opalescent in different lights. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means you will enjoy a clean face up appearance with only minor inclusions that do not detract from the overall beauty or structural integrity of the stone. Polish is excellent, giving the dome a satiny smooth finish that catches light evenly across the surface. Importantly this moonstone has no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a locale renowned for producing high quality feldspar gems, which adds both provenance and character to the piece.

As a salesperson knowledgeable about gemstones, I can tell you that the cabochon shape and the stone dimensions make this peach moonstone especially suited to settings that celebrate its surface glow and soft coloration. A bezel setting in warm gold tones such as 18 karat yellow gold or rose gold will harmonize with the peach hue and protect the stone edges, while an open back or low profile solitaire will allow light to interact with the translucency for a living, breathing look. For those who prefer contrast, a halo of tiny white diamonds can elevate the gem into more formal jewelry without stealing focus, the primary moonstone remaining the star with its soft adularescence and creamy tone. The size and weight make it a comfortable statement for everyday wear in a ring, or a graceful focal point for a pendant that rests against the collarbone. Designers will appreciate the versatility, as the stone can sit beautifully in vintage inspired milgrain work, contemporary minimal bezels, and artisan handmade cabochon mountings. If you are commissioning a piece, consider low profile prongs or a partial bezel to balance protection and exposure, and choose warm metal tones to emphasize the peach character, or cool metals if you prefer a more modern contrast.

When you select this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company you receive more than a beautiful stone, you receive careful selection and truthful description grounded in gemological knowledge. Origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka speaks to a tradition of skilled mining and cutting, and the fact that the gem is untreated ensures that you are working with natural color and optical properties. Care is straightforward for a moonstone of this nature, clean with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals that could stress the stone, and store separately to prevent surface scratches to the excellent polish. For setting and daily wear please bear in mind that moonstone is softer than many other gems, so protective settings and mindful wear will preserve its sheen for years to come.
