16.43 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 16.43 carat oval shape peach moonstone, measuring 19.32 by 14.06 by 8.80 mm, thoughtfully fashioned in a smooth cabochon cut, exhibits a warm, inviting peach tone with a subtle internal glow that is characteristic of quality moonstone. The clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, allowing the gentle luminosity and peach color to remain the focus, while the medium light color intensity gives the gem a soft, wearable presence that pairs easily with many designs. The polish is excellent, producing a sleek surface that enhances the stone s translucency and allows light to play across the dome for a soothing, almost creamy appearance. There has been no enhancement to this natural gem, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing moonstones with delicate color and pleasing optical qualities. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this piece as a rare opportunity to own a generous sized moonstone that balances substance and subtle elegance.

For jewelry, this cabochon oval is a superb focal stone for a signature ring, a refined pendant, or a statement brooch, and its size and shape are ideal for designs that showcase the stone s face up area and smooth dome. Consider warm metals such as 14 karat or 18 karat rose gold to harmonize with the peach tone, or choose a soft yellow gold for a classic, timeless look. The stone s very slightly included clarity and excellent polish mean it will photograph beautifully and stand up to regular wear with sensible care. To preserve its surface, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, clean gently with mild soap and a soft cloth, and store separately to prevent abrasion. If you would like additional photos under different lighting, setting suggestions, or bespoke mounting services, I am happy to assist, and we can discuss matching stones or custom design options to complement this lovely moonstone.
