31.95 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the deep schists and ancient alluvial terraces of Ceylon Sri Lanka this moonstone began its long patient journey, born of slow geological rhythms that layered feldspar into shimmering sheets, and nurtured beneath the tropical soils for millennia, its subtle grey translucence forming like a quiet secret within the earth. Local miners guided by generational knowledge and an intimate respect for the land found this rough gem, recognizing the potential in its soft sheen and internal structure, and they gently brought it to the surface with hands that understand how to read the stone. The cultural history of moonstone in Sri Lanka carries stories of protection and intuition, and our artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company hold those stories as they transport this material from remote pits to the familiar light of the studio, each step honoring the origins and the people who first uncovered it.

At the workshop the rough took on a new life, shaped into a graceful oval cabochon where light reveals the gem's inner glow, weighing 31.95 carats with dimensions of 17.56 by 16.26 by 15.29 mm, translucent with a very light color intensity, and evaluated as eye clean at eye level, which means its quiet purity reads like a whisper rather than a shout. The cut and polish are excellent, designed to showcase the moonstone's soft adularescence while preserving its natural character, and the gem has no enhancement, allowing collectors and designers to appreciate an untouched example of Sri Lankan moonstone. This piece presents as a versatile focal element for an heirloom ring or a pendant that carries a narrative, and when set it will catch morning and evening light in different ways, recalling the lunar connections that have inspired jewelry traditions for centuries. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in connecting you to that journey, offering not just a beautiful 31.95 carat grey moonstone, but a story that begins in the ancient earth of Ceylon Sri Lanka and is completed in the hands of craftsmen who respect provenance, clarity, and the quiet power of natural beauty.
