13.67 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the heart of Ceylon, where ancient rivers and timeworn schists cradle hidden treasures, this orange moonstone began its long journey. Born of slow geological patience, the crystal layers that give moonstone its character were formed under pressure and heat, then revealed by skillful hands in Sri Lanka, a land known for producing exceptional moonstone specimens. As a translucent oval weighing 13.67 carats, and measuring 18.05 by 13.08 by 8.07 millimeters, this gem carries the quiet story of its origin, the warmth of tropical soils, and the careful selection that separates a common pebble from a collector quality stone. The rich orange hue, described with intense color intensity, is both uncommon and captivating, a color that seems to hold the soft radiance of dawn within its cabochon dome, while the very slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, assures a natural authenticity that many treated stones cannot claim.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace each piece from mine to market, and this moonstone has been shaped with respect to its natural beauty, receiving a cabochon cut and an excellent polish to maximize its glow and surface elegance. With no enhancement applied, the stone presents a pure expression of Sri Lankan geology and artisanal cutting, a piece that feels intimate and honest against the skin. The smooth domed profile lends itself to classic ring settings, elegant pendants, or bespoke designs where the stone can be admired from every angle, and its substantial dimensions and weight make it a commanding centerpiece. For collectors who appreciate provenance, a gem with natural translucency and intense color intensity, coupled with meticulous finishing, tells a story of place, craft, and patience.
