28.01 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a singular, show stopping gemstone that completes a meaningful commission, or a collector grade specimen with natural character and presence, this translucent brown moonstone answers that search with confidence. Many clients come to us wanting an alternative to conventional white moonstone or a warmer tone that reads as both elegant and quietly bold, and this gem meets those desires while remaining versatile enough to translate into engagement rings, statement rings, pendants, and bespoke fine jewelry pieces. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that you want a stone that not only looks exceptional in photographs, but one that also performs beautifully in hand, and this moonstone’s generous size and refined finish provide the kind of immediate visual and tactile appeal that ends a long search.

This is one beautiful translucent 28.01 carat oval shape brown moonstone, with exact dimensions of 20.38 x 15.05 x 11.63 mm, cut as a classic cabochon to enhance depth and color, clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with intense color intensity and an excellent polish, enhancement free, and originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The cabochon form is ideally suited to moonstone because it maximizes the stone’s internal glow and surface luster, and the substantial carat weight together with the oval proportions create a commanding face up area that suits both solitaire and halo interpretations. The clarity grade very slightly included means that any internal characteristics are minimal, typically only noticeable under magnification, and they do not detract from the stone’s overall appearance when worn, which is precisely the balance collectors and designers appreciate. The intense brown tone in this specimen offers a warm, earthy alternative to cooler moonstone varieties, and the excellent polish produces a smooth, silky surface that catches light with a gentle sheen rather than sharp flashes, making it an elegant choice for those seeking understated sophistication.

For customers envisioning a centerpiece for engagement jewelry, an heirloom pendant, or a curated collection item, this moonstone is a compelling solution because it combines rarity of size, untreated natural beauty, and provenance from a celebrated source in Ceylon Sri Lanka. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on settings that protect the cabochon profile while showcasing its broad face, recommending either bezel settings for daily wear and extra security, or low prong and halo arrangements to emphasize the gem’s scale while keeping the surface readily visible. Because moonstone has a Mohs hardness generally around six to six and a half, we make practical suggestions to enhance longevity, such as choosing protective bezel edges for rings that will see regular wear, or reserving more open styles for pendants and brooches that are less likely to encounter abrasive contact. We also value transparency, so we highlight no enhancement for this stone, and we can facilitate independent assessment or gemological reporting on request to satisfy collectors who require formal documentation.

When you choose this moonstone through The Natural Gemstone Company you are selecting not only a single, striking gem, but the experience of careful sourcing, thoughtful presentation, and tailored service that helps you move from inspiration to finished creation with confidence. We welcome your questions about setting ideas, custom design options, or condition and care, and we can provide additional imagery and videos to help you evaluate the stone in different lighting conditions, which is often helpful with translucent pieces where tone and sheen can shift subtly. If you would like assistance matching this oval cabochon to design sketches, choosing complementary metals and accent stones, or arranging secure shipping and insured delivery, our team is ready to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that this exceptional brown moonstone becomes the perfect solution to your search for a rare, elegant, and natural gem.
