Presenting a rare and elegant gem from The Natural Gemstone Company, one beautiful translucent 43.34 carat round shape grey moonstone, the stone measures 21.07 x 20.71 x 13.25 mm, it is fashioned into a classic cabochon cut to showcase its inner light, the clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the color intensity is medium light, the surface displays an excellent polish, there has been no enhancement, and the origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka. This moonstone offers a serene grey palette with refined translucency, a substantial presence thanks to its size and weight, and a smooth domed profile that is ideal for designs calling for gentle adularescence and soft diffuse glow. For collectors and designers who value natural, untreated material, this specimen represents an attractive combination of natural character and gemological integrity.

Under lighting the cabochon reveals the subtle play of light that moonstone lovers seek, a gentle internal sheen that seems to float beneath the surface, the translucency allows light to diffuse through the gem producing a calm lunar effect, the medium light color intensity provides good body without overwhelming the adularescence, the very very slightly included clarity grade means that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall appearance when viewed at normal viewing distances. The excellent polish enhances the cabochon profile, allowing reflections to glide across the dome and emphasizing the soft, silky texture unique to quality moonstone. Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka brings additional appeal, since Sri Lankan moonstones are prized for their clean tones and refined optical character, and this example is an honest, untreated gem for clients who ask for natural provenance.

The substantial 43.34 carat weight and dimensions 21.07 x 20.71 x 13.25 mm make this moonstone highly versatile for a variety of fine jewelry commissions, it would be a striking centerpiece for a pendant, a dramatic focal stone for a cocktail ring, or a museum style brooch where its smooth dome can be admired from all angles. For settings consider polished white metals to accentuate the cool grey tones, or warm metals for a classical contrast, a low bezel can protect the dome while showing its full face, while a halo of small accent stones can add brilliance without masking the moonstone s unique glow. Pairing suggestions include tiny white sapphires, accent diamonds, or subtle moonstone melee to maintain tonal harmony, designers may also set the gem cabochon up in open backed settings to allow more light to pass through, depending on the wearer s preference for translucency and back lighting.

Care and stewardship recommendations from The Natural Gemstone Company are straightforward, moonstone is durable for everyday wear when set with care but should be treated gently to preserve the excellent polish, to clean use warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid steam, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, storage in a soft pouch or separate jewelry compartment will prevent abrasion. Because this moonstone is natural and not enhanced, it carries an authenticity that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs, if you desire additional documentation or custom setting services our team is available to advise on mounting options, design sketches, and secure shipping arrangements.
