21.62 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting one beautiful translucent 21.62 carat peach moonstone, an oval shape gem measuring 16.17 x 14.77 x 12.31 mm, available from The Natural Gemstone Company. This specimen has been cut into a classic cabochon, a domed form that showcases the gem’s soft, internal glow and smooth contours, and that also protects the gem from everyday wear while highlighting its color and surface polish. The clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the unaided eye and displays a pleasing uniformity of tone. Color intensity is medium, offering a warm peach tone that is neither pale nor overpowering, and the finish is an excellent polish, providing a silky, reflective surface that catches light in a subtle, refined way. There has been no enhancement applied to this moonstone, it is completely natural, sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for yielding moonstones with harmonious color and translucency. At 21.62 carats and with these dimensions, this moonstone has a substantial presence that reads as elegant and wearable, whether set as a centrepiece in a pendant or as the focal gem in a bespoke cocktail ring.

Visually this peach moonstone offers a calm and comforting aesthetic, the translucent body allowing a soft diffusion of light across the dome which creates a gentle, almost creamy appearance. Depending on viewing angle and lighting, you may notice a slight luminous sheen that plays across the surface, accentuated by the cabochon cut and excellent polish, giving the stone depth and a tactile beauty. The warm peach hue pairs beautifully with a variety of metals, gold tones such as 14 karat or 18 karat yellow gold and rose gold will amplify the warmth, while a soft white metal setting can create a modern contrast that emphasizes the stone’s translucency. Design possibilities include a classic solitaire pendant to showcase the oval outline, a halo of small diamonds for added sparkle while keeping the moonstone the star, or a bespoke ring with tapered shoulders to complement the stone’s proportions. Due to its cabochon profile and pleasing size, the gem is also ideal for artisan settings, bezel mountings, and vintage inspired designs where the smooth dome can be admired from every angle.

When considering wear and care, note that moonstone has a Mohs hardness of about 6 to 6.5, so it benefits from protective settings and mindful handling to avoid sharp knocks and abrasive contact. Clean your moonstone with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush or cloth, avoiding steam cleaning and ultrasonic methods which can stress certain gem structures, and keep it away from harsh chemicals and strong heat to preserve its tone and polish. Each gemstone in our inventory is carefully selected and evaluated by experienced gemologists at The Natural Gemstone Company, and we are happy to provide additional images, measurements, and advice on setting and mounting to ensure the final jewellery piece meets your vision.
