6.32 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional translucent brown moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a rare combination of size, color, and finish that is difficult to find on the market. At 6.32 carats, and measuring 14.57 by 11.33 by 5.19 mm, its oval cabochon shape gives a classic and wearable silhouette that works beautifully for rings, pendants, or statement jewel pieces. The gem displays a medium light color intensity that reads as a warm, earthy brown with soft internal glow, and a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural character. The polish is excellent, producing a smooth, glasslike surface that enhances the stone s translucence and tactile appeal. This moonstone is untreated, and there is no enhancement, making it a genuine natural specimen from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a locale renowned for yielding some of the world s finest feldspar gemstones.

Compared with the more commonly encountered white or blue moonstones, this brown moonstone stands out for its unique tonal warmth and versatility in design. In the current market many moonstones are either very small, heavily included, or have been subjected to treatments to improve appearance. This piece offers superior value because it combines a substantial carat weight with a cabochon cut executed to high standards, and with excellent polish that rivals stones at higher price tiers. When contrasted with synthetic or glass filled alternatives, this natural, untreated Sri Lankan moonstone retains the subtle internal shimmer and depth of field that only a genuine feldspar can deliver. Where other stones may show cloudiness or dull surface finish, this moonstone presents a refined translucency and a pleasing, even body color, so the final jewelry result is more elegant and durable. For designers and collectors who demand authenticity and aesthetic consistency, the natural origin, the lack of enhancement, and the careful cutting and polishing by experienced lapidaries add clear premium value.

From a practical standpoint this moonstone offers exceptional versatility and return on investment. Its dimensions and weight make it large enough to create a focal point without overwhelming typical mounting styles, and its oval profile is easily set into classic bezel settings, modern prong mounts, or bespoke contemporary designs. Because it is untreated, its long term stability is superior to many enhanced gems, and the natural inclusions and internal structure contribute to a story and character that resonates with buyers who prefer genuine, responsibly sourced materials. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize provenance and transparency, and we can provide additional images and detailed information on the stone s origin and handling upon request. For jewellers seeking a standout center stone that is both rare and wearable, and for collectors who appreciate untreated Sri Lankan material, this brown moonstone is an outstanding choice that outperforms many mass market options in both quality and uniqueness.

Care and styling guidance is straightforward, and further enhances the stone s practical appeal. Clean the gem gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and set the stone in protective settings for rings that see frequent wear. The warm brown hue pairs exceptionally well with yellow gold for a classic, vintage inspired look, and also complements rose gold and oxidized silver for more contemporary contrasts. For a more dramatic presentation consider pairing this moonstone with small accent diamonds or warm toned sapphires to elevate its subtle glow. If you would like bespoke setting suggestions, CAD previews, or a custom design quotation, The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to assist, ensuring that this rare, untreated Ceylon moonstone becomes the centerpiece of a piece that will be treasured for years.
