5.98 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a single remarkable gemstone to complete a proposal, to create an heirloom piece, or to add a rare specimen to a collector cabinet, this white moonstone answers that need with calm confidence. Many customers tell us they want a gem that reads as both subtle and compelling, a stone that will catch the eye without overpowering a design, and an item that holds authentic natural character. This moonstone meets those desires, showing a delicate translucence and a soft internal glow that evokes moonlight. At 5.98 carats, the gem is substantial enough to be a true focal point, while its round shape and cabochon cut provide a timeless silhouette that suits both classic and contemporary settings, making it an ideal solution for anyone who must balance beauty, presence, and wearability.

The physical and gemological details of this stone explain why it is an excellent match for discerning needs. This is one translucent white moonstone, weighing 5.98 carats, with dimensions of 11.24 x 10.94 x 6.95 millimeters, and it is fashioned in a round shape with a cabochon cut. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall serene appearance when set. The color intensity is described as colorless, allowing the internal adularescent sheen to play freely across the surface. The polish is excellent, which highlights the gem’s smooth dome and maximizes its soft glow. Importantly for collectors and those looking for an authentic natural piece, this moonstone has no enhancement, and it originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long admired for producing high quality feldspar gems.

For jewelers and clients planning a ring, pendant, or bespoke piece, the cabochon cut and round form offer practical and aesthetic advantages that answer common concerns. The cabochon dome amplifies the moonstone’s characteristic sheen, enabling the adularescence to shift and shimmer with movement, which is precisely the effect people seek when they want a gem that changes with light and gesture. The nearly 6 carat weight gives you the option to make a statement in a solitaire design, or to combine the stone with delicate side accents for a refined engagement ring. Its translucent, colorless body allows it to harmonize with white metals, warm gold colors, and mixed metal designs, so you can achieve the exact tone and mood you are aiming for. For collectors, the fact that this moonstone is untreated and from Ceylon adds provenance and rarity, making it an attractive acquisition that will sit well alongside other natural specimens.

Caring for this moonstone is straightforward, and we recommend simple practices that preserve its beauty for generations. Because moonstone is a softer gem than many faceted stones, a protective setting such as a bezel or low profile prong can help guard against knocks while still showcasing the cabochon dome. Clean the gem gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, and remove the jewelry during heavy manual work or contact sports.
