15.68 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing from The Natural Gemstone Company features one beautiful semi translucent 15.68 carat oval grey moonstone, dimensions 17.15 x 11.96 x 9.36 mm. The gem is shaped as an elegant cabochon, carved to a smooth dome that showcases a soft lunar adularescence and a gentle, even appearance. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents a clean visual face with only minute internal characteristics that do not distract from its overall beauty. Color intensity is medium light, giving the stone a refined, versatile grey tone that works equally well in classic and contemporary designs. The polish is excellent, producing a bright, satiny surface and a satisfying play of light across the dome. There has been no enhancement, this moonstone is natural and untreated, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for fine quality feldspar specimens.

As a gemstone professional I recommend settings that protect and highlight this cabochon shape, such as a secure bezel for daily wear, or a low profile prong mount for a more open view that emphasizes the stone size and adularescence. At 15.68 carat and with dimensions that sit comfortably in the center of a pendant or as a substantial signet style ring, this moonstone will become a focal point in jewelry, pairing beautifully with sterling silver, white gold, or warm rose gold tones. For care, avoid exposure to extreme heat and harsh chemicals, do not use steam or ultrasonic cleaners, and clean gently with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Store separately from harder gemstones to prevent surface abrasion.
