5.88 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Sri Lanka, known by the ancient name of Ceylon, lies a world where nature’s artistry is revealed through the careful crafting of gemstones. Deep within the earth, amidst the lush landscapes, one particular treasure emerges—a mesmerizing translucent orange moonstone. This gem, with its vibrant medium intense hue, is a celebration of nature’s unpredictability and beauty. It begins its journey hidden away in the fertile land where mineral deposits have been forming for millennia, waiting to be discovered and shaped by human hands.

The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this stunning moonstone, a gemstone as ancient as the wisdom carried by cultures who admired its ethereal glow. In its raw form, this gem held a promise of beauty known only to those patient enough to coax it into a deserving shape—an elegant oval measuring 14.02 by 10.10 by 5.63 millimeters. Our artisans in Ceylon, skilled in the age-old traditions of gemstone crafting, saw in it a potential laid bare only once the perfect cabochon cut was selected. This choice not only highlighted its smooth luminance but also preserved the delicate balance of natural inclusions that make every piece unique.

Each moonstone’s innate charm is captured in the way it plays with light, offering an almost otherworldly visual experience to those who behold it. The cabochon cut enhances this phenomenon, allowing subtle gleams of reflected light to dance upon its surface, adding a subtle dynamism whether donned casually or formally. Its excellent polish ensures a refined finish, accentuating the translucent quality that catches admiration and curiosity alike. The very slightly included clarity draws a line between natural beauty and meticulous craftsmanship, where the untouched essence of the stone is maintained.

Understanding its place among us, this moonstone’s lack of enhancement ensures authenticity, presenting itself in its most genuine form—a commendation to both the earth and artisanship. As a rare find, its true value lies in versatility. Whether worn as a statement piece to a formal gala or as an everyday companion, its beauty adapts.
