36.15 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite brown moonstone is a study in subtlety and classical beauty, presenting a semi translucent oval weighing 36.15 carats, with dimensions 19.83 x 16.10 x 15.04 mm. Expertly shaped as a cabochon, the stone reveals a gentle, ethereal sheen across its surface, a hallmark of fine moonstone that rewards close viewing without overwhelming the eye. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves the gem's natural character while maintaining visual appeal. Medium color intensity brings a warm, earthy embrace to the gem, allowing it to complement both antique inspired and contemporary settings with equal grace. The polish is excellent, creating a smooth, luminous dome that catches light in a way that highlights the moonstone's intrinsic depth. Importantly, this specimen is in its natural state, no enhancement, and its origin in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, situates it within a long tradition of highly regarded gemstones from that storied island.

The brown moonstone carries a lineage that stretches back through centuries of devotion to the moonstone family, a gem prized for its quiet glamour and enduring symbolism.
