16.85 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies the origin of a breathtaking treasure—our 16.85 carat round brown moonstone. Nestled deep within the earth, this gem's journey began in the rich and timeworn soil, where centuries of geological activity imbued it with its unique characteristics. The moonstone, known for its enchanting play of light, also called adularescence, is a phenomenon that captures the mysteries of the night sky right within its core. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to bring this marvel to life, showcasing the cabochon-cut craftsmanship that enhances its natural elegance.

This moonstone is semi-translucent, allowing light to dance through its warm brown tones, creating an ethereal glow that few gemstones can match. Compared to other gems in its category, the moonstone's reflective qualities stand out, offering a softer radiance than the fiery sparkle of faceted stones like diamonds or sapphires. Its medium intense color intensity exudes an understated warmth, while the excellent polish adds to the smooth, silky appearance that is highly sought after by connoisseurs and collectors alike. With its very slightly included clarity, this gemstone holds a delicate charm that adds to its natural allure without detracting from its overall beauty.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we delight in sharing such stories of wonder with our customers, connecting them to the heart and soul of the gemstones we offer. Each piece is meticulously evaluated, ensuring its authenticity and unrivaled quality. This moonstone, with no enhancements, remains true to its authentic form, representing the untouched beauty of Ceylon's natural resources. Whether you're drawn to its cultural significance, its captivating appearance, or its tranquil energy, this brown moonstone promises to be the centerpiece of any jewelry collection, embodying the timeless elegance of nature's extraordinary creations.
