41.97 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet light that lives within this stone, a soft, brown radiance like the hush of dusk over a tea garden, and the spirit of the moon finds a new voice in a single, semi translucent oval. From Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where ancient rivers and patient earth give rise to treasures, comes a 41.97 carat brown moonstone that seems to hold the slow turning of evenings inside its cabochon dome. The surface is smooth and luminous, an excellent polish that invites the hand to linger, the eye to follow the gentle arc of its curve, the dimensions 22.56 x 18.00 x 14.46 mm speak to a presence that is both substantial and graceful. In candlelight the stone exhales a warm glow, a medium color intensity that is never loud, yet always remembered, a tone like honeyed smoke or the first warm page of a book touched by sunlight. This is a gem to be worn against skin, to be touched when thinking of promises, to be carried as a small world that remembers calm, a companion for nights when romance needs a tangible echo.

Look closely and you will discover how thoughtfully nature has crafted this moonstone, a clarity graded as very slightly included when examined at eye level, so that tiny internal tales may be read only by those who seek them, and the overall demeanor of the gem remains serenely unclouded. The cabochon cut lends the stone its soft, domed silhouette, a shape that transforms light into a motion that resembles the slow rise of the moon, and the semi translucency allows inner depth to breathe, a subtle play of shadow and glow. There is no enhancement, no artifice hiding behind its beauty, what you see is the honest result of earth and time, polished to an excellent finish, each curve refined until the stone reflects like a small, private moon. These precise measures and qualities, the 41.97 carat weight, the 22.56 x 18.00 x 14.46 mm dimensions, the very slightly included clarity, the medium color intensity, and the cabochon cut, together compose a language of authenticity that will speak clearly to those who prize natural origin and graceful presence.

Imagine this moonstone set in a band of warm gold, held like a secret between two fingers, or cradled in a pendant that swings with the cadence of the heart, the brown tones harmonizing with skin and metal, the gentle sheen catching glances and starting conversations.
