34.15 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are few gems that carry the same quiet poetry as the moonstone, a gem that has been cherished across continents and millennia for its soft glow and its association with the rhythms of the night. Hailing from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this particular stone arrives with an air of history woven into its very substance. Moonstones were treasured by ancient Romans who believed they were formed from moonlight, and by Indian gem cutters and royalty who prized their subtle luminescence as an emblem of beauty and protection. This oval bi color moonstone, at 34.15 carat, continues that lineage. Its gentle translucence and bi color character recall the timeworn traditions of jewelry that traveled along silk routes and found homes in royal treasuries, and it invites the wearer to partake in a lineage of refinement and reverence that spans centuries.

Beyond its storied past, the physical presence of this moonstone is compelling and elegant, traits that The Natural Gemstone Company presents with both pride and precision. The gem measures 25.29 by 18.89 by 9.26 millimeters, an ample size that makes it ideal as a singular focal piece in a ring, pendant, or brooch. Expertly fashioned in a cabochon cut, the stone displays its internal calm with an excellent polish that enhances its surface glow. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which contributes to the gem's natural character without distracting from its overall luminescence. With a medium light color intensity and no enhancement, the moonstone retains an authentic and unadulterated charm. Its bi color quality offers a subtle play of tone, a conversation between warm and cool hues that shifts gently with movement and light, evoking the same soft transition seen when moonlight crosses the horizon.

Owning this moonstone is an invitation to participate in the art of timeless adornment, a practice that values continuity and meaning as much as beauty. This gem is naturally suited to classic settings that allow its oval silhouette and smooth cabochon surface to command attention, settings such as a simple gold bezel that emphasizes the stone's gentle shape, a vintage inspired mount that connects to the gem's historical spirit, or a modern minimalist frame that highlights its pure, organic presence. Because this moonstone is free of enhancement, and because it comes from one of the world’s most respected origins, it carries a provenance and integrity that collectors and connoisseurs seek. At The Natural Gemstone Company we remain committed to presenting stones that tell a story, and this moonstone is ready to begin a new chapter in your collection. Whether you are creating an heirloom to be passed down through generations, or choosing a contemplative piece that complements a lifelong aesthetic, this moonstone offers a timeless expression of nature, history, and artistry.
