132.19 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional translucent grey moonstone, offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company, commands attention from the first glance, its presence defined by an impressive carat weight of 132.19 carat, oval shape, cabochon cut, and generous dimensions of 46.67 by 27.64 by 14.27 millimeters. This is not a common find, this is a substantial, museum quality example of a classic gem, sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, an origin renowned for producing moonstones of superior character and timeless appeal. The clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to the stone s natural purity given its remarkable size. The color presents with vivid intensity across a soft grey body tone, and the polish is excellent, allowing the surface to glow with a smooth, luminous finish. No enhancement has been applied to this gem, preserving its wholly natural state for connoisseurs who demand authenticity and provenance.

The cabochon cut has been carefully executed to maximize the stone s optical qualities, forming a perfectly domed face that reveals subtle adularescence as light travels across the surface. This phenomenon is intrinsic to moonstone, and in this particular specimen it appears as a delicate, floating sheen that shifts with movement and light, offering a living interplay between shadow and silver. The translucency lends depth, inviting the eye to travel within the body of the gem and appreciate its internal character and gentle play of light. Given its size and clarity, this moonstone represents a rare alignment of qualities, where translucency, vivid color intensity, and a high degree of polish converge without recourse to enhancement, a combination that seasoned collectors and bespoke jewelers recognize as the hallmark of something extraordinary.

Possession of this moonstone places the owner among an elite group who can claim a singular gem, suitable for the most distinguished commissions or museum worthy presentations. Its scale and presence lend themselves beautifully to a signature statement piece, an heirloom pendant designed to rest on a fine chain, or a bespoke high jewelry ring set in platinum or warm rose gold to create an arresting contrast. Designers will value the cabochon profile for its ease of setting and for the way it showcases the stone s optical drama, while collectors will appreciate the rarity of an untreated specimen of this magnitude from Ceylon. We emphasize limited availability, as stones of this size, quality, and natural state rarely reappear on the market, and once placed into a private collection this gem will remain a singular element of refined taste.

For those who seek assurance and the utmost discretion, The Natural Gemstone Company provides private viewings, detailed photographic documentation under varied lighting, and coordination for independent gemological assessment if desired. We recommend that any setting be designed to protect the domed table from rough wear while allowing light to play freely across the surface, and that soft, natural metal tones be considered to complement the grey body color and subtle adularescence. Care for this moonstone is straightforward, do not expose it to harsh acids or prolonged extreme heat, clean gently with warm water and a mild soap, and store separately from harder gems to avoid abrasion. Given its untreated nature and exceptional measurements, professional appraisals and bespoke certification can be arranged to record provenance, clarity observations, and the natural, non enhanced state of the gem.

Owning this 132.19 carat grey moonstone is more than an acquisition, it is an invitation into a rarefied circle of collectors and patrons who understand the intrinsic value of natural, unenhanced gemstones, and who commission pieces that will be treasured across generations. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to guide you through the commissioning process, to suggest designers and settings that will preserve and amplify the gem s virtues, and to ensure secure, confidential handling from inquiry to delivery.
