16.10 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries moonstone has been admired for its gentle glow, its association with the moon, and its place in the jewelry traditions of many cultures, and this translucent brown moonstone captures that quiet, timeless spirit with refined simplicity. We present one beautiful 16.10 carat oval shape brown moonstone, with dimensions 17.84 x 12.27 x 10.26 mm, crafted in a classic cabochon cut to best display its inner sheen. The gem has a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with medium light color intensity and an excellent polish that allows light to travel across its surface and reveal soft, moving highlights. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this stone carries the legacy of an island long celebrated for producing some of the world most evocative gemstones, and because it has received no enhancement, it remains a pure expression of nature and time.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we believe that certain gems are born to be heirlooms, and this brown moonstone is an ideal example of a piece that will age with grace and meaning. Its warm, subdued tones lend themselves to classic settings in gold or vintage inspired silver, and the oval cabochon form is especially suited to signet style rings, pendant lockets, or a centerpiece in a heritage necklace. The stone invites slow appreciation, rewarding wearers with a soft shimmer that changes with angle and light, and because it is a natural, unenhanced gem, it will retain its character across generations. For collectors and connoisseurs who value provenance, craftsmanship, and the continuity of tradition, this moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a rare find.
