2.58 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This moonstone is a semi translucent, 2.58 carat, fancy shape specimen, measuring 11.12 by 8.62 by 5.06 mm, presented as a traditional cabochon cut to emphasize adularescence, or the blue flash that appears as light moves across the stone. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating minimal visible inclusions that do not interrupt the surface appearance, and the piece displays a medium light color intensity combined with an excellent polish that enhances its subtle internal glow. The polished cabochon profile and the stone proportions are well suited to bezel and elevated settings, where the blue flash can be captured and viewed from multiple angles, and the semi translucent body provides a soft, diffuse background that accentuates the adularescent effect without competing color saturation.

Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance that carries both historical and gemological significance, as Sri Lanka has a long established reputation for producing moonstones with clear adularescence and refined cutting traditions. The geological conditions in Sri Lanka favor the growth of orthoclase and albite layers that produce a sharp blue sheen when properly oriented and cut, and stones from this region are often preferred by connoisseurs for their combination of flash quality and body translucency. For collectors and jewelers, certified origin from Ceylon adds verifiable context that can influence valuation, because regional characteristics inform expectations for color, flash, and cutting potential, and because provenance supports traceability and appraisal consistency. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this moonstone with documented details, no enhancement, and the technical specifications required for professional setting and valuation, ensuring the buyer receives an accurately described natural gem suitable for refined jewelry design or a curated collection.
