23.09 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

It is rare to encounter a stone that so elegantly balances subtlety and presence, and this specific treasure from our collection embodies that quiet prestige. This is one beautiful translucent 23.09 carat oval shape brown moonstone, presented in a classic cabochon cut that allows its inner radiance to fully express itself. The dimensions of this gem are 19.33 x 14.40 x 11.92 mm, proportions that speak to both wearable comfort and visual impact. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long esteemed by connoisseurs for producing moonstones with refined character, this example displays a very light color intensity and a translucency that invites a second look. The polish is excellent, yielding a satin like surface that catches the light with a soft, reflective glow. For collectors who seek rarity, gems of this size, clarity, and untreated provenance are quietly exceptional, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this single, exquisite piece.

Beyond its measurements and origin, the finer details of this moonstone are what elevate it to a collector worthy of bespoke settings and private commissions. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that to common observation the stone reads as remarkably clean, while a trained eye will appreciate the maturity of its natural internal structure. There is absolutely no enhancement applied, so what you see is purely the result of geological time and expert lapidary work. The cabochon cut is intentional and traditional for moonstone, allowing its internal sheen and subtle play to travel across the dome as the stone moves, suggesting depth and a contemplative luminescence rather than a flash of color. Its brown tonality is unusually refined for moonstone, moving away from stronger colorations to offer an understated, neutral palette that can sit comfortably in both classical and contemporary designs. At this weight and size, the stone has presence on a finger or pendant, while retaining a softness that invites intimate, daily enjoyment.

Owning a gem like this is an invitation to join a small group of discerning clients who prioritize authenticity, provenance, and sculpted beauty. Sri Lankan moonstones have a long provenance in the annals of gem trade, valued for their clean adularescence and fine crystalline composition, and stones of this caliber are seldom available outside of specialized offerings. The Natural Gemstone Company curates with an eye toward singularity, and this moonstone was chosen for our collection because it is both a statement and a secret, something that announces refinement while remaining quietly personal. We can arrange bespoke mounting options that respect the stone’s translucency and profile, recommending settings that allow light to pass and reveal the gem’s inner character, such as halo free mounts that emphasize the cabochon dome, or artisan crafted bezels that celebrate its oval silhouette. For those considering investment quality pieces, the absence of enhancement and the documented origin enhance its desirability, and we are prepared to assist with valuation guidance, certificate facilitation, and custom design proposals.

If you are seeking a singular gem to become the heart of a personal heirloom, or to add a distinctive specimen to a curated collection, this brown moonstone is a rare opportunity. Because this is a single, natural, untreated stone, availability is limited, and ownership conveys an exclusivity that cannot be reproduced. At The Natural Gemstone Company we offer private viewings, secure shipping, and dedicated counsel to ensure that the gem is presented and set in a way that honors its natural beauty. I am available personally to discuss how this stone could be transformed into a ring, a pendant, or a bespoke piece that complements your aesthetic, and I can provide detailed imagery, lighting studies, and mounting recommendations on request. For those who value the provenance of a gem as much as its look and feel, few pieces will match the combination of size, clarity, polish, and untreated origin that this moonstone presents, and we welcome you to contact us to explore ownership of this exceptional item.
