23.40 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You are searching for a gemstone that ends a long quest, a stone that feels complete and ready to become the focal point of a cherished piece, and this translucent 23.40 carat oval grey moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company as exactly that solution. Whether your need is a singular engagement ring that departs from the ordinary and speaks to quiet elegance, or a museum quality addition to a collector cabinet that values provenance and natural character, this moonstone answers with presence and authenticity. Its generous carat weight and soft grey tone give an instant sense of rarity, while the cabochon profile brings a tactile, meditative quality that invites touch and contemplation. We understand that many clients seek a stone that is not merely beautiful in photographs, but that performs under close inspection, and this moonstone achieves that balance with clarity, polish, and a natural origin that matters to those who care about ethical sourcing and geological story.

This moonstone measures 19.24 x 13.08 x 13.08 millimeters, an elegant oval shape that reads as substantial on a finger or pendant, without overpowering refined settings. The cabochon cut emphasizes the gem material, creating even, gentle surfaces that play with light and reveal translucence. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that under everyday viewing this gem reads as clean, with only minute internal characteristics that do not detract from its appeal and in many cases add to natural charm. Color intensity is light, a tone that complements both warm and cool metals, and that harmonizes with diamonds and colored stones if you are planning a mixed stone setting. The polish is excellent, so the dome reflects clean highlights and allows the internal glow to emerge. Importantly, there has been no enhancement to alter the stone, so you receive a natural moonstone in original condition, with the provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka supporting both rarity and trusted origin.

For the client imagining an engagement ring, consider how an oval cabochon of this scale creates a statement that remains tasteful and wearable, it is ideal for a bezel or soft claw setting that protects the dome while showcasing its soft luminosity. For the collector, this piece is a rare, large example of Sri Lankan moonstone that can anchor a collection focused on classical gem materials with natural finishes. Because it is untreated, you preserve long term value and historical integrity, which is a key requirement for discerning buyers who prefer stones in their natural state. The stone adapts well to bespoke designs, and because of its substantial size and clear dome, jewellers can explore halo accents, custom bezels, or minimalist mounts that place the moonstone at the center of attention. We often guide customers toward settings that minimize exposure to hard knocks, since cabochons present curved surfaces that are best suited to everyday elegance paired with thoughtful design.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we pride ourselves on matching intent to object, and we invite you to make this moonstone the resolution to your search. Our team can assist with additional photographs, measurements under specific lighting, and recommendations for mounting that preserve the stone and enhance its unique character. If you seek a show stopping engagement piece, a meaningful anniversary gift, or a singular collectible with clear origin and no enhancements, this 23.40 carat Ceylon moonstone is presented as the natural conclusion to that pursuit.
