33.95 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet light that lives inside certain stones, a light that moves like a secret tide beneath the surface, and this grey moonstone carries that tide within its oval heart. Weighing 33.95 carats, cut in a gentle cabochon curve, and polished until its skin sings with a soft sheen, it measures 27.32 by 20.58 by 7.72 millimeters, a solid and elegant presence that feels like a moonbeam captured and shaped. The color is a medium intense grey that breathes, translucent rather than opaque, inviting a slow gaze, revealing the internal ghost of movement that moonstone lovers name adularescence. Clarity is very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a whisper of natural character that speaks of earth and time rather than imperfection, and there are no enhancements, the gem arriving to you as nature intended. Origin matters to us, and this gem traces its story to Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a land that has long been a cradle of luminous stones and careful hands.

Imagine this moonstone set into a ring that is meant to be held close and looked at often, or a pendant that rests over the heart like a soft old promise. Against warm gold the grey will glow like dawn over water, against cool platinum it will read as cultivated moonlight, and set with simple metal it will keep the eye on the stone and on the slow shimmer that makes it feel alive. Because of its cabochon cut and its generous size, the play of light moves across the dome with a gentle rhythm, catching different moods as you move your hand or turn toward a window. The very slightly included clarity adds intimacy, a reminder that this is a natural treasure with a unique internal map, and the excellent polish lets every nuance of that map show through cleanly and with dignity. Here at The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish such qualities, and we imagine this stone becoming the center of an heirloom piece, a solitary talisman for vows, a thoughtful gift for the one who prefers stories to showmanship.

If you are dreaming of creating something with meaning, this moonstone invites a collaborative design, with mounting ideas that range from airy bezels that let light pass and gather, to low profile settings that make the stone a daily companion. Because it is untreated and of honest origin, it pairs beautifully with simple metals and handmade settings that honor its unforced glow. For lovers of understated romance and collectors of genuine provenance, this grey moonstone offers both size and subtlety, a balance that is rare. I am happy to discuss setting options and to provide more detailed images or viewing arrangements, and I will gladly share my experience in bringing such stones into wearable form. When you hold it in hand you will feel the smooth domed surface, the cool of its body, the way the light seems to move within it, and you will know this is a piece that speaks of quiet beginnings and of shared journeys.
