15.50 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a gemstone that answers the call for rarity, warmth, and timeless elegance, this orange moonstone is the solution that ends your quest. Many clients come to The Natural Gemstone Company looking for a stone that feels personal, yet versatile enough to become an everyday treasure or a standout collector piece. Whether you want the perfect center for an engagement ring that will be remembered for its uncommon color, a pendant that carries a soft inner glow close to the heart, or a museum quality specimen to add to a curated collection, this moonstone checks every box. Its gentle orange hue conveys a sense of warmth and optimism, and its generous size and cabochon shape present that color and translucency in a way that is both approachable and distinctly refined.

This moonstone is a translucent 15.50 carat oval, with precise dimensions of 17.34 x 13.17 x 9.45 mm, cut as a smooth cabochon to showcase its inner light. It is graded very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the naked eye while retaining natural characteristics that testify to its authenticity. The color intensity is medium and consistent, allowing the stone to read as a true orange moonstone without overpowering settings or surrounding gemstones. The polish is excellent, providing a satin to glossy surface that enhances the cabochon dome and the soft sheen for which moonstones are prized. There are no enhancements reported, and the origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classic source known for producing some of the most desirable moonstones on the market.

Imagine this oval cabochon set in a bespoke ring where the dome catches morning light and returns a warm glow to the wearer, or imagine it cradled in a bezel pendant that lets the translucence and color breathe against a silk blouse or evening dress. For an engagement ring, the stone offers a distinctive alternative to traditional white diamonds while still maintaining an air of refinement. For collectors, its size and natural clarity make it a noteworthy specimen for a cabinet of colored stones, especially for those focused on exotic and regionally specific material. In design terms, the stone pairs beautifully with warm metals such as rose gold or yellow gold, which harmonize with the orange tone, but it also offers striking contrast with cooler metals for a modern look.

When you choose a moonstone like this from The Natural Gemstone Company you are choosing a natural gem with traceable origin and meticulous assessment. The lack of enhancement is an important factor for buyers who prioritize natural beauty and long term value, and the very slightly included clarity grade reflects a balance between visual purity and geological character. Moonstone is a softer gem than many traditional jewelry stones, so settings that protect the dome are advisable for pieces that will be worn daily. Consider bezel settings for rings and pendants to offer structural protection, and allow some space so the stone can show its translucency and inner shimmer. Routine care is straightforward, use a soft cloth and mild soapy water for cleaning, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, and store the stone separately to prevent abrasion from harder gemstones.
