2.29 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent white moonstone, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a 2.29 carat oval cabochon with precise dimensions of 12.68 x 8.39 x 2.75 mm. The gem displays near colorless color intensity, and an excellent polish that enhances its subtle adularescence. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and inclusions remain minimal and unobtrusive under normal wear. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, and no enhancement has been applied, providing a natural, stable material suitable for long term use in fine jewelry. The cabochon cut preserves the stones optical character while the oval outline presents a clean, symmetrical profile that photographs and sets with consistent visual balance.

The size and shape of this moonstone make it particularly well suited to custom jewelry projects. At 12.68 mm in length and 8.39 mm in width, the gem is large enough to serve as a confident center stone for rings and pendants, while its modest 2.75 mm depth keeps the profile comfortable for everyday wear and allows for low bezel or gallery settings. The oval silhouette offers design versatility, permitting vertical orientation to elongate the finger, horizontal placement for contemporary styles, or a tilted setting for asymmetrical bespoke pieces. The cabochon surface and excellent polish maximize the soft internal glow typical of quality moonstone, making the piece effective in clean bezels that frame the stone, in open prong mounts that allow light to interact with the body of the gem, or set within mixed metal designs where the near colorless tone harmonizes with both warm and cool alloys. Because the stone is natural and untreated, it is straightforward to incorporate into heirloom quality work where provenance and stability are priorities. For custom commissions The Natural Gemstone Company can confirm exact measurements and provide guidance on recommended mounting types and protective settings to preserve the cabochon form while achieving the intended aesthetic.
