16.64 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent grey moonstone from Ceylon is a refined and versatile choice for a signature piece, weighing 16.64 carats and cut into a smooth oval cabochon with dimensions of 16.30 x 13.02 x 10.31 mm, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone shows a medium intense color intensity that balances a soft grey palette with a warm undertone, and it displays a gentle adularescence that plays subtly across the dome as light moves. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included at eye level, which contributes character without compromising the stone clarity to the naked eye, and the excellent polish enhances the overall luminosity and tactile appeal. This moonstone is untreated, no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a respected source known for quality material, making it a natural and authentic choice for collectors and designers alike.

As a salesperson and gem enthusiast I recommend this moonstone for a central setting where its cabochon form can show its full glow, such as a bezel set pendant, a statement ring, or a refined pair of asymmetric pieces. The generous dimensions and weight allow for strong presence on a design without overwhelming the setting, and the medium intensity grey pairs beautifully with both cool and warm metals, including white gold, platinum, and soft yellow gold for a classic contrast. Because it is natural and untreated, I suggest simple care routines, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme heat, cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to preserve the polish, and storing separately to prevent abrasion.
