14.50 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the heart of Ceylon Sri Lanka to your hands, this grey moonstone tells a slow volcanic story, centuries in the making, born where molten rock met cooling waters in a landscape shaped by monsoon rains and ancient geology. Local miners, working with knowledge passed down through families, gently separated these feldspar veins from host rock, seeking the rare pieces that reveal a soft inner glow when held to light. The piece we present is a translucent 14.50 carat oval moonstone, its surface shaped into a smooth cabochon to celebrate its natural character, its hue a sophisticated grey with an intense color intensity that draws the eye without shouting. Carefully evaluated at eye level, its clarity is graded very very slightly included, evidence of its natural origin rather than heavy modification, and it bears an excellent polish that allows light to travel across its dome and whisper the phenomenon that moonstone lovers seek.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that journey by bringing the stone to skilled cutters who respect proportion and symmetry, shaping this gem to measure 15.06 by 13.74 by 9.34 millimeters in an oval profile that flatters both modern and classical settings. No enhancement has been applied, so what you receive is an authentic moonstone, its cabochon cut chosen to amplify the play of light and the gentle shimmer that suggests moonlit landscapes. This gem wears well in a statement ring, a pendant that moves with the wearer, or a bespoke piece that pairs warm metals with the cool grey tone, and it invites settings that allow the dome to capture and reflect light. We include thoughtful care advice, recommending gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding ultrasonic machines and harsh chemicals to preserve the polish and natural inclusions that tell the stone s story. When you choose this moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company you are choosing a piece with provenance, a handcrafted finish, and a quiet elegance that carries a place and a people within it.
