21.73 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One translucent, 21.73 carat, oval brown moonstone, dimensions 18.93 by 14.82 by 10.19 millimeters, cabochon cut, polished to an excellent finish. The domed profile displays a smooth, even surface and a pleasing translucency that allows internal structure to gently interact with light. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with minor internal features that are not distracting and that do not compromise the stone stability or overall appearance. Color intensity is described as intense, presenting rich, warm brown tones that remain consistent across the surface and that offer a subtle but noteworthy presence in both natural and artificial lighting. No enhancement has been applied, the stone retains its natural character and material integrity.

Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, providing a known and respected locality for feldspar group gemstones. This moonstone is well suited to gallery or bezel settings where the cabochon profile can be protected and displayed, making it appropriate for rings, pendants, and bespoke pieces where a substantial face up appearance is desired. Given its size and weight, the stone offers a significant presence for designers and collectors seeking an untreated, high polished example. Care recommendations include avoiding prolonged exposure to heat and harsh chemicals, and handling with standard precautions for translucent feldspar gemstones, such as gentle cleaning with mild soap and water and avoiding aggressive ultrasonic or steam cleaning to preserve the polish and surface integrity. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this moonstone as a natural, untreated specimen with precise measurements and grading information provided to assist in design and valuation decisions.
