5.34 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This luminous brown moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka carries a quiet dignity that links it to centuries of gemstone lore and classical design, a jewel that feels both ancient and immediately modern. At 5.34 carats and shaped into a graceful oval cabochon, its translucent body softens light rather than scatters it, creating a warm inner glow that appeals to those who prize subtlety over flash. The stone measures 14.97 by 9.55 by 4.94 mm, and it has been given an excellent polish that enhances its silky surface. Clarity is graded eye clean when viewed at eye level, and the color intensity is very light, lending the moonstone an almost ethereal, ivory brown tone that shifts gently with movement. There has been no enhancement, a testament to the natural integrity of the material, and the cabochon cut honors the traditional presentation of moonstone, the same cut employed for centuries to reveal the mineralogical wonder within.

For collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate continuity with the past, this moonstone is ideally suited to heirloom pieces and classic settings that will travel through generations. It takes to warm metals exceptionally well, particularly antique style gold mounts that echo the colonial and pre colonial traditions of Ceylon Sri Lanka gemstone work, yet it adapts equally to refined contemporary designs. Set as a focal stone in a signet style ring, a pendant with a simple bezel, or a low profile brooch, it promises enduring elegance rather than passing fashion. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select such stones for their story as much as for their quality, and this specimen embodies a serene, timeless character that speaks to lovers of heritage and measured beauty. Our craftsmen can advise on settings that preserve the cabochon silhouette and protect the stone while showcasing its soft luminescence, ensuring that this moonstone remains a cherished piece for decades to come.
