5.61 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the misted gem pits of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the precise touch of our lapidaries, this brown moonstone carries a quiet story of earth and craft, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. Born within layered feldspar veins over eons, this translucent oval cabochon weighing 5.61 carat was carefully liberated from its host rock by experienced miners who have worked these hills for generations. The rough was hand sorted to preserve clarity and tone, then entrusted to cutters who respected the stone grain and flow. Shaped into an oval 12.29 x 9.30 x 6.70 mm, its cabochon profile was chosen to reveal a soft lunar sheen and to emphasize translucency and body color. With a light color intensity and a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, this gem shows the honest, natural character collectors prize, and it is free from enhancements, a pure expression of its origin.

At our bench the cutter concentrated on balance and polish, producing an excellent polish across the smooth dome so the surface catches light in a gentle manner that invites close examination. The warm brown tones give this moonstone an intimate, almost vintage presence, suitable for a striking solitaire ring, an elegant pendant, or a bespoke heirloom design. Its proportions and cabochon cut make it comfortable to wear and easy to set, and the translucence allows light to travel through the gem, creating subtle depth and a soft inner glow. We include provenance details from Ceylon Sri Lanka to honor the gem story and to reassure collectors of its heritage.
