13.46 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a center stone that combines presence with subtlety, or a rare specimen that will secure a special place in a collector s cabinet, this moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company answers that need with clarity and grace. This is one beautiful translucent brown moonstone weighing 13.46 carats, cut into a round shape and finished as a smooth cabochon. It measures 14.09 by 13.91 by 9.21 millimeters, a generous size that reads as impressive on a finger and commanding as a pendant focal point. The gem is graded as very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a testament to its clean appearance for a natural moonstone, and it shows a medium intense color intensity that gives it a warm and versatile brown tone. The polish is excellent, allowing the surface to reflect light with a soft even sheen, and importantly the stone has no enhancement, originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long admired for fine feldspar material. For buyers who value provenance and natural integrity, this specimen closes the gap between aesthetic desire and ethical selection.

For an engagement ring, you may want a stone that is both distinctive and wearable, something that will tell a story every time the hand moves. This 13.46 carat cabochon moonstone is ideal for exactly that purpose, because its rounded dome and translucent body produce the gentle luminous effect that moonstone lovers prize. The medium intense brown tone reads as warm and soulful, pairing beautifully with yellow gold for a vintage romance, with rose gold for modern warmth, or with white metals for a more contemporary contrast. The cabochon cut creates a smooth, tactile surface that sits comfortably against skin, and because moonstone exhibits a play of light rather than sparkling facets, the visual appeal is about depth and inner glow rather than glitter. Collectors will appreciate the combination of size, natural origin, and absence of enhancement, while designers will recognize the gem s adaptability to bezel settings that protect the stone, or to open backed mounts that allow more light to reveal its translucence.

From a technical perspective the stone s dimensions and cabochon cut make it straightforward to set, and the excellent polish means the surface requires minimal intervention to achieve a gallery quality finish in a custom piece. For durability and daily wear considerations a secure bezel or partial bezel setting is a practical recommendation because it protects the rim of the dome while showcasing the stone s luminous body. If you prefer to emphasize the gem s depth and internal glow, an open back or a slightly elevated gallery will allow light to pass through and reveal the nuanced brown tones and the soft sheen that defines fine moonstone. Accent choices can further elevate the design, for example a halo of small brilliant cut diamonds or warm colored sapphires will frame the cabochon and bring focus to the moonstone s color. For collectors who catalog by origin and treatment status, the fact that this moonstone is untreated and from Ceylon Sri Lanka provides an important point of provenance, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the natural, unenhanced condition of this piece.
