22.22 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a truly distinctive centerpiece that answers the call for beauty, rarity, and artisanal quality, this Ceylon brown moonstone is the gem that closes your search. This one translucent 22.22 carat oval moonstone measures 19.08 by 11.38 by 12.93 millimeters, and it is expertly fashioned as a cabochon to present a silky, even surface that showcases its inner glow. The color reads as a warm, medium light brown that offers a subtle and sophisticated presence, an understated alternative to the more common white or blue moonstones. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone presents with exceptional visual purity to the unaided eye while retaining the natural character that connoisseurs value. The polish is excellent, delivering smooth reflective highlights across the domed surface, and the gem is guaranteed to have no enhancements, preserving its natural origin and integrity from Ceylon Sri Lanka. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select such stones with care, ensuring they meet exacting standards for collectors and jewelers alike.

For those who want a stone that works as both an emotional symbol and a design statement, this moonstone is ideally suited to engagement pieces, signature rings, pendants, and bespoke jewelry. The cabochon cut is particularly effective for moonstone because it maximizes the effect of translucency and the soft internal sheen, providing a calming, pearly glow that shifts gently with movement and light. At over twenty two carats and with generous dimensions, this oval commands attention without being ostentatious, allowing a jeweler to design settings that balance protection and display. We recommend protective settings such as bezel or semi bezel styles to shelter the dome and preserve the polish, while open gallery designs can allow light to pass and emphasize the gem’s depth. Warm metals like yellow gold and rose gold will enhance the brown tones and lend a classic, organic feel, while sterling silver or white gold can create a modern, minimalist aesthetic that highlights translucence and form. Collectors will appreciate the natural state of the gem, the provenance from Sri Lanka, and the absence of treatments, making it a meaningful addition to a curated collection.

When your priority is to find a single stone that can fulfill a personal vision or complete a high quality design, this brown moonstone is a definitive answer. Its combination of substantial carat weight, clean eye level appearance, precise cabochon cutting, and natural origin makes it a rare opportunity to secure a stone that reads as both timeless and uniquely individual. Caring for this moonstone is straightforward, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth for gentle cleaning, avoid aggressive chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and store the gem separately or wrapped in soft fabric to prevent surface abrasion. If you would like bespoke mounting suggestions, custom design assistance, or a professional appraisal and documentation, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to guide you through the next steps and to ensure the gem is presented exactly as you envision. Your search for a remarkable, honest, and beautifully finished moonstone can end with this exceptional Ceylon gem, and we stand ready to help you bring it into a finished piece that will be treasured for years to come.
