14.24 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

I am pleased to present a beautiful translucent peach moonstone available from The Natural Gemstone Company, offered as an elegant oval cabochon weighing 14.24 carat, with measurements of 17.87 by 12.46 by 8.78 mm. This gem displays a soft peach hue with medium color intensity, set off by excellent polish that enhances its gentle glow. The gem is natural, with no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long respected for producing moonstones with refined color and clean appearance. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem presents a clean visual field to the wearer while preserving natural character and depth. The cabochon shape and domed profile give it a smooth tactile presence, and the generous size makes it a standout option for a striking center stone in bespoke jewelry.

Visually this peach moonstone reads as soothing and luminous, a gemstone that seems to hold light within its curves, offering a warm, creamy shimmer that suits both classic and contemporary settings. The translucency and cabochon cut allow internal light play to register across the surface without the need for faceting, producing a satiny, almost ethereal appearance in varying daylight and artificial light. Under warm indoor light the peach tones deepen slightly, giving a cozy, romantic cast. In cooler daylight the stone maintains a delicate pastel presence, which makes it versatile for multiple color palettes. Design suggestions include a bezel set pendant to protect the edges and showcase the smooth dome, a statement ring with a low profile to balance comfort and presence, or an artisan style brooch or cuff that highlights the stone as the central, serene focal point.

From a gemological and craftsmanship perspective this moonstone is notable for its balance of size, clarity, and finish. The very slightly included clarity grade at eye level indicates a gem that will appear clean in normal wear, while retaining natural inclusions that confirm its authenticity and origin. The excellent polish contributes to a soft luster and allows the peach hue to read consistently across the surface. The lack of any enhancement is a key value point, offering collectors and designers a fully natural material to work with. Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds provenance that many connoisseurs appreciate, since Sri Lankan moonstones are respected for their color range and overall quality. The generous dimensions and weight make it suitable as a solo centerpiece, or as the heart of a design that incorporates accent stones or metalwork to frame its warm tone.

Caring for this moonstone is straightforward and will preserve its beauty for many years, and our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is happy to advise on settings and care. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, rinse well, and dry with a lint free cloth, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extended heat, do not use ultrasonic cleaners or steam, and consider a protective setting such as a bezel for rings to guard the edges from bumps. Store the moonstone separately from harder gems to prevent abrasion, and when designing a piece allow for slightly raised mountings if you prefer to show the dome, or choose a snug bezel for everyday wear. If you would like additional photographs, measurements in alternative units, custom mounting options, or guidance on matching metals and accent stones, our team is available to assist, we can provide detailed images and collaborate on a bespoke design to showcase this lovely peach moonstone in the way that best suits your vision.
