20.47 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One of a kind and prepared for the collector who seeks true rarity, this beautiful translucent brown moonstone weighs 20.47 carat, and presents in an elegant oval shape that measures 20.66 by 15.40 by 8.59 millimeters, and it is a compelling statement of natural beauty offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. Expertly fashioned into a classic cabochon cut, this gem showcases a smooth, domed surface that allows its warm tones to breathe and its internal character to reveal itself with every subtle movement. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a mark of authenticity that confirms the gem is naturally formed without aggressive treatment, and no enhancement has been applied. The color intensity is intense, creating a rich, enveloping brown that reads both modern and timeless, and the polish is excellent, producing a glass like sheen that amplifies the stone impact when set in bespoke jewelry. For discerning buyers who value provenance, the origin of this moonstone is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historic and respected source for gems that carry heritage, provenance, and an assured degree of geological distinction.

What sets this particular moonstone apart is the union of its substantial weight, its refined proportions, and its innate translucency, qualities that are rare to encounter together in a single piece. At over 20 carats, it commands presence, yet the cabochon cutting approach tames that presence into an intimate glow that flatters the wearer and invites close inspection. The very slightly included clarity grade lends character without distracting from the overall harmony of the stone, and the intense brown tone moves through a spectrum of warm taupe and milk chocolate hues as it catches ambient light, a trait that is especially prized among collectors who appreciate depth and mood in a gem. The excellent polish speaks to the care taken by master cutters to respect and enhance the stone original form, and because there has been no enhancement, what you see is the stone true nature. As custodians of exceptional natural material, The Natural Gemstone Company presents this moonstone as a rare find, an opportunity to own a natural treasure that is ready to be set into a custom piece for an elite client who values exclusivity and authenticity.

For clients seeking to transform this moonstone into a singular heirloom, consider design options that honor its size and color, such as a gallery set pendant that allows light to accentuate translucency, or a sculpted statement ring in warm rose gold or 18 karat yellow gold that complements the brown hues and frames the cabochon to secure it as a focal point. Because the gem is untreated, simple mounting methods that focus on subtle metal lines and supportive bezels will showcase the gem without competing with its natural charm, and a hand crafted setting can be tailored to accommodate the 20.66 by 15.40 by 8.59 millimeter dimensions precisely. We advise gentle care consistent with fine gemstone stewardship, avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures, and storing the stone separately from harder gems to preserve its polish. This moonstone is a rare, sought after piece, available through The Natural Gemstone Company as a single quantity offering, and we invite private inquiries for viewing, bespoke design consultation, and secure purchase arrangements, ensuring that the new owner becomes part of a select circle that appreciates and preserves natural gemstone heritage.
