20.86 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Originating from the lush landscapes of Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, this exquisite 20.86 carat oval white moonstone is a true testament to nature's artistry. Formed over millions of years beneath the Earth's surface, this gemstone is a marvel of geological processes. As molten magma slowly cooled, a captivating dance of silicate minerals unfurled. Layer after layer, the moonstone's unique adularescence—a soft, billowing, moon-like glow—took form. The presence of feldspar minerals, namely orthoclase and albite, interlay structured layers that refract light to create its ethereal shimmer. The transcendent beauty encased within its translucent facade reveals a near colorless color intensity and embodies the zenith of natural gemstones.

Expertly crafted with a cabochon cut, this moonstone measures 20.40 x 13.34 x 10.41 mm, showcasing a domed elegance that accentuates its adularescent play of light. The cabochon technique, utilized to reveal the mesmerizing glow rather than faceting, imbues the stone with an elegant simplicity and timeless appeal. Our gemologists have graded its clarity as very slightly included under eye evaluation, adding to its rarity and prestige. This precise cut ensures an excellent polish, capturing and exhibiting maximum light while retaining the gem's intrinsic essence. The lack of enhancement further underscores its authenticity, serving as a pure reflection of nature's intentions.
