17.64 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a centerpiece that will end your quest for uncommon beauty and meaningful symbolism, this translucent white moonstone is the perfect solution, whether your goal is the ideal engagement ring or a rare specimen to anchor a curated collection. This gem answers the desire for a stone that offers soft, mystical presence rather than showy brilliance, and it will appeal to someone who wants a quietly elegant treasure that draws attention without shouting. Its classic oval silhouette and gentle sheen make it extremely versatile for designers and collectors alike, and it will pair beautifully with warm metals for a vintage inspired look, or with cool metals for a modern, minimalist statement. For clients who prioritize authenticity and natural beauty, and for those who seek a stone with provenance and integrity, this moonstone delivers on every front.

This stone is a single, cabochon cut, translucent white moonstone weighing 17.64 carats, with measurements of 18.79 x 13.39 x 9.86 mm, offering a substantial presence on the hand or in a display. It is an oval shape that captures and diffuses light with a soft adularescence, creating the moonlike glow that defines the gem. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to most observers, while the minor internal characteristics add natural character and depth rather than distract. Color intensity is near colorless, preserving the purity of the moonlit effect, and the polish is excellent, enhancing the smooth, tactile appeal of the cabochon surface. There has been no enhancement applied to this gem, so you are receiving a natural, untouched specimen, and the origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for producing moonstones with delicate, ethereal qualities.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that purchasing a special gem is as much about the story and feeling as it is about the specifications, and this moonstone delivers both. Imagine it set as the focal point of a bespoke engagement ring for a partner who treasures subtlety and meaning, the soft glow suggesting protection and intuition, or imagine it mounted in a collector cabinet where it complements a range of rare specimens. For jewelers and designers, its generous dimensions make it ideal for a halo or bezel setting, or for a cabochon showcase pendant where movement and light will reveal different facets of its inner glow. Caring for moonstone is straightforward, store it separately to avoid abrasion, clean gently with warm soapy water and avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, and its beauty will endure. If you would like a custom recommendation for setting options, metal choices, or mounting techniques that will enhance its adularescence, I will be pleased to advise you personally. This moonstone represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, high quality, natural gem with provenance and character, and it is ready to become the solution you have been seeking.
