6.21 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing presents one translucent brown moonstone, weighing 6.21 carats, presented in a round shape cabochon. The stone measures 11.60 by 11.34 by 6.44 millimeters, dimensions that yield a well balanced profile and a substantial visual presence relative to its carat weight. The cabochon cut is executed to a classic dome, with a gentle curvature that enhances the stone body and allows light to interact with the internal structure. The surface is uniformly smooth, and the outline is symmetrical, which supports predictable setting options and consistent appearance from multiple viewing angles. The overall body color is a medium intensity brown, offering a warm, muted tone that is evenly distributed across the table and crown areas, and the material is described as translucent, permitting a soft transmission of light rather than full transparency.

Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the stone when examined without magnification. The cabochon cut and the translucent nature of the material make the internal features unobtrusive, and the excellent polish contributes to an even, reflective surface that emphasizes the stone color and texture. There has been no enhancement applied to this moonstone, the material is natural and untreated, and the origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing a range of fine feldspar specimens. The combination of origin, natural state, and the reported clarity and polish provide a clear picture of the gem attributes, supporting accurate assessment for design and valuation purposes.

For practical use, the dimensions and cabochon profile make this moonstone suitable for a variety of jewelry applications, including solitary pendants, statement rings with protective settings, and bespoke pieces where the stone is the focal element. Given the material hardness and the presence of perfect cleavage common to feldspar species, settings that offer physical protection, such as bezel mounts or partially recessed cup settings, are recommended to minimize the risk of edge chipping during everyday wear. Cleaning should be undertaken with mild soap and warm water and a soft brush, avoiding steam and ultrasonic cleaners to preserve the integrity of the stone. The Natural Gemstone Company documents origin and treatment status for this item, and we can provide additional imagery on request, specific setting recommendations, and standard care guidance to assist in integration of this moonstone into finished jewelry.
