16.41 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are jewels that announce themselves with a quiet confidence, and then there is this remarkable white moonstone offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, a gem that speaks of refined taste and effortless elegance. At 16.41 carats, this oval cabochon captures attention through its generous presence and polished restraint, a semi translucent body that invites the eye to travel across its surface and discover a soft, inner light. The shape is classic and graceful, the proportions measured to present the stone with an imposing yet harmonious silhouette, and the cabochon cut has been executed to accentuate a serene adularescence that shimmers beneath the surface with every subtle change of light. This is a gem to be worn by someone who understands that true luxury is not about flash alone, but about the way a singular object elevates an entire moment.

Craftsmanship and provenance converge in the specifics, details that matter to the connoisseur. This moonstone measures 15.80 by 13.13 by 11.02 millimeters, dimensions that allow it to sit beautifully as the centerpiece of a ring, an opulent pendant, or an artful brooch. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, an honest appraisal that testifies to the gem natural origin and authentic character, and the color intensity is near colorless, lending a purity that supports the luminous interplay within. The polish is excellent, a mirror like finish that enhances the stone center glow and reveals the meticulous lapidary skill behind every curve. Importantly, there has been no enhancement, the gem remaining completely natural, and its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka places it within a storied tradition of gem material revered for its quality and provenance.

In design terms this white moonstone is a rare canvas, its semi translucent body offering a gentle luminosity that complements both cool and warm metal choices. In platinum, the glow reads as modern, architectural refinement, while in 18 carat yellow gold the piece will carry a more classical and intimate glamour. A skilled jeweler will consider a low bezel or a subtle open back to maximize light while ensuring secure, enduring wear, and this substantial cabochon naturally commands a bespoke setting that honors its weight and presence. For collectors, a moonstone of this size and condition represents an opportunity to add an exceptional example to a curated cabinet of natural gems, a stone that will translate across generations as a piece of heirloom quality.

To own this moonstone is to claim a quiet authority, a proof of discernment and an embrace of natural beauty in its most cultivated form. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this piece with full respect for its origins and its possibilities, and we welcome inquiries from clients seeking a personalized consultation, bespoke mounting options, and guidance on care. Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is recommended, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners to preserve the polish and internal glow, and when not in use the gem should be stored separately to prevent abrasion. For the client who desires a statement that is both subtle and illustrious, this 16.41 carat white moonstone from Ceylon is a consummate choice, a single object that declares refinement, mastery of taste, and a love of the rare.
