5.71 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries moonstone has been a talisman of mystery and continuity, a gem linked to moonlit rites, seafaring lore, and the quiet dignity of heirloom jewels. This example, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, captures that age old magic in a warm orange tone that seems to hold the light within. We present a translucent orange moonstone weighing 5.71 carat, cut in a classic oval cabochon form with dimensions 14.18 by 10.18 by 5.36 mm. Its surface reveals an excellent polish, and the cabochon profile enhances the smooth, inner radiance that made moonstone coveted by ancient craftsmen. Originating in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this stone carries the legacy of one of the oldest and most respected sources of feldspar, a provenance that speaks to both authenticity and the deep traditions of gem cutting in the region.

As a piece for those who value continuity and graceful design, this moonstone is notable for its intense color intensity and a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, qualities that ensure both visual impact and natural character. There has been no enhancement to this gem, allowing collectors and jewellers to appreciate its unaltered beauty and to incorporate it into settings that emphasize classic lines and enduring style. Whether set as a solitary pendant to evoke a sense of personal history, placed at the heart of an antique inspired ring, or used as the focal point in a family heirloom, this moonstone promises to become a storied possession that is handed down through generations. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are pleased to present such a refined example of traditional beauty, and we stand ready to advise on bespoke settings, provenance documentation, and secure shipment, ensuring that this orange moonstone begins its next chapter with care and confidence.
