38.88 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you begin the search for a truly special gemstone you are looking for more than size and color, you want provenance, exceptional workmanship, and a stone that communicates personality and rarity. This semi translucent 38.88 carat oval brown moonstone answers those needs in every way. With dimensions of 23.65 by 14.83 by 13.88 millimeters this substantial cabochon displays a refined oval silhouette that is ideal for a bold solitaire ring, a dramatic pendant, or a curated collection piece. The stone has been evaluated at eye level with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, which means that under normal viewing conditions the surface and interior present a clean, soothing appearance, allowing the warm, intense color to take center stage. The cabochon cut enhances the moonstone character, creating a gentle internal glow and a polished dome that invites touch and admiration.

You may be seeking a gem that reads as both timeless and unexpected, something that complements classic settings while offering a modern, earthy character. This brown moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents an intense color intensity that is rare in stones of this size and quality, and the excellent polish amplifies the smooth, silky luster that collectors and designers prize. Because this gem is untreated, with no enhancement, you are acquiring an authentic natural specimen whose beauty is inherent and permanent, not the result of artificial intervention. The semi translucent body allows light to diffuse through the gem, creating a soft, internal luminosity that changes subtly with movement, making every glance an intimate experience. With its very very slightly included clarity, the stone maintains visual purity while preserving natural identity, a balance that appeals to both connoisseurs and those seeking a meaningful piece for everyday wear.

For practical use and creative design this moonstone is extraordinarily versatile, and it will meet the needs of customers seeking an engagement piece that is unconventional but elegant, or collectors who value provenance and size. In a ring design the 23.65 by 14.83 by 13.88 millimeter profile works beautifully set low for everyday wear or raised to emphasize the cabochon dome for a statement ring. In a pendant the oval silhouette provides a focal point that pairs wonderfully with warm metals such as rose gold or yellow gold, which enrich the brown tones, or with oxidized silver for a contemporary, artisanal look. The gem also makes an exceptional centerpiece for bespoke jewelry projects, where designers can play with halo styles, side stones, or minimalist bezels to highlight the moonstone character. From an investment and collection perspective the combination of size, origin, natural state, and finish makes this piece a strong candidate for appreciation in value, and for those who document provenance the Ceylon origin adds an important layer of desirability.
