25.42 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 25.42 carat oval shape white moonstone with dimensions of 22.98 x 16.87 x 9.98 mm. Born in the ancient gem lands of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this moonstone began its story deep within metamorphic rock, where time, pressure, and the patient movement of feldspar layers created the soft, floating light we call adularescence. Local miners familiar with these veins uncovered the rough with care, guided by generations of knowledge and a reverence for the land that yields such subtle treasures. In Sri Lankan culture moonstone has long been prized as a talisman of intuition and calm, worn by those who seek a quiet connection to the night sky, and this particular piece carries that legacy in its translucent body and gentle internal glow.

From rough to refined, skilled cutters shaped this gem into a classic cabochon to maximize its lunar shimmer, polishing each curve until the surface achieved an excellent polish that allows light to glide across the dome. The oval shape enhances wearability and presence, while the cabochon cut preserves the gem’s internal movement. Clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, offering character without distracting from the stone’s clean, colorless color intensity. There are no enhancements, no heat, no dye, the gem is a natural statement of geology and craft. At 25.42 carats with precise dimensions of 22.98 x 16.87 x 9.98 mm, this moonstone is substantial enough to become the centerpiece of a bespoke ring or a luminous pendant, yet refined enough to settle into a delicate bezel for everyday elegance. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this moonstone invites the wearer to carry a piece of Ceylon’s earth and heritage, a gem whose journey from raw seam to polished cabochon speaks to both nature’s patience and the cutter’s art.
