15.68 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 15.68 carat oval grey moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka offered by The Natural Gemstone Company stands apart from many mass market options, because it combines substantial size with refined clarity and natural presentation. At 17.15 by 11.96 by 9.36 mm the cabochon cut maximizes the stone face and reveals a pleasing semi translucent body, the medium light color intensity gives a subtle sophisticated grey tone that is more versatile than the pale or overly dark stones commonly seen elsewhere. The clarity grading of very very slightly included at eye level means this moonstone reads as effectively eye clean to most viewers, unlike lower grade pieces that show obvious inclusions and cloudiness, and the excellent polish produces a smooth, reflective surface that enhances the gentle lunar glow you expect from quality moonstone. Importantly this gem has no enhancement, so you receive an unaltered natural example, while many competing stones on the market have been heat treated or otherwise modified to mask imperfections or to intensify color, reducing their natural character and long term value.

When comparing value and uniqueness this Ceylon grey moonstone excels because it offers a rare combination of attributes at once, size, clean appearance, natural origin, and finish. For designers and collectors who prioritize authenticity and presentation, this stone makes a stronger statement than small, heavily included pieces or glass and synthetic alternatives that try to mimic moonstone adularescence. The cabochon shape is ideal for center stones in rings, pendants, and bespoke pieces where the smooth dome showcases subtle light play, and the neutral grey adapts to both warm and cool metal settings, outperforming stones with limited hue versatility. Choosing The Natural Gemstone Company means you benefit from transparent sourcing and a focus on unenhanced material, and this particular moonstone is a wise choice for anyone seeking a natural, elegant, and collectible gem that holds its aesthetic appeal and market integrity better than many treated or lower grade options currently available.
