15.45 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 15.45 carat oval shape grey moonstone, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a singular example of refined natural beauty, suitable for the collector who values rarity and provenance. This gem measures 16.76 by 14.20 by 9.00 millimeters, and is fashioned in a classic cabochon cut that showcases the stone's soft internal glow. Its clarity is evaluated as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a quality that preserves the stone's integrity while allowing subtle internal character to become part of its personality. The color intensity is medium and purposeful, a restrained grey that reads as sophisticated rather than loud, and the surface displays an excellent polish that amplifies the stone's tactile and visual appeal. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this moonstone carries the heritage of one of the world’s most revered sources for fine feldspar specimens, and it arrives to you with no enhancement, a wholly natural treasure ready for an exclusive commission.

Within this substantial oval, the moonstone reveals a serene adularescent shimmer that shifts gently as light and perspective change, creating a living interplay between shadow and silvered flash. The translucent body permits light to travel into the gem and return as a soft, moonlike radiance, a characteristic that moonstone connoisseurs prize above all. The medium intense grey tone lends the adularescence a muted, elegant backdrop, and the cabochon dome has been cut to maximize this effect while maintaining balanced proportions for secure settings. The excellent polish provides a smooth, mirror like surface that increases the perceived depth of the stone and invites touch without sacrificing the crispness of the dome. Because this gem is natural and untreated, its subtle inclusions and delicate internal features become part of its narrative, proof of an authentic geological journey from the mines of Ceylon to a setting of distinction.

For the discerning client who seeks exclusivity, this moonstone is ideally suited for a bespoke piece, commissioned through The Natural Gemstone Company, where personalized service ensures that the final creation is as rare as the gem itself. Imagine this stone set in a custom bezel in warm 18 karat yellow gold to heighten its grey warmth, or in a cool platinum frame to accentuate its silvery flash, or surrounded by a halo of tiny brilliant cut diamonds to provide contrast and emphasis. The cabochon form is particularly well suited to protective bezel settings or low profile mounts that emphasize comfort and everyday wearability, while preserving the gem’s visual drama. Because each moonstone is unique, and because we maintain a limited inventory of such exceptional pieces, ownership implies membership in an intimate circle of collectors and patrons who appreciate provenance, natural beauty, and the rarity of untreated stones from premier origins.

Acquiring this 15.45 carat grey moonstone is an opportunity to own more than an object, it is an invitation to possess a conversation piece that carries the subtle poetry of Ceylon’s earth, and the careful hands of expert cutters and polishers. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to offer private viewings and custom design consultations for clients who wish to ensure the setting reflects their personal story and lifestyle, and who value the assurance that this gem has not been altered or enhanced. Because such stones are seldom available in this weight, cut, and natural condition, we encourage those who feel a personal connection to this moonstone to contact us to reserve it, and to discuss secure purchase options, bespoke mounting, and bespoke presentation. Ownership of this moonstone is an act of distinction, a way to join a select group who recognize and celebrate the rare qualities of fine natural gemstones.
