6.72 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent peach moonstone is a precise example of feldspar craftsmanship, weighing 6.72 carat with oval dimensions 14.09 x 10.03 x 6.48 mm, presented as a high dome cabochon. The cutter oriented the lamellar intergrowth of orthoclase and albite to maximize adularescence, producing an even, silky sheen across the surface rather than localized flashes. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, indicating only minute internal features that do not interrupt light transmission or surface appeal. Color registers as medium intensity peach, a balanced warm saturation that retains strong light return without appearing washed. The cabochon profile demonstrates symmetrical outline and consistent dome curvature, a testament to meticulous shaping and preform selection, while excellent polish eliminates microabrasions that could diffuse the adularescent effect. No enhancement has been applied, ensuring the material is completely natural, and the origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka situates this piece within a respected geographic source known for fine moonstone specimens.

From a collector and connoisseur perspective, a clean, unenhanced Ceylon peach moonstone of this size and finish is comparatively rare, and its value is supported by documented natural origin and uncompromised surface condition. The physical properties of moonstone, including a specific gravity consistent with feldspar and a Mohs hardness that favors careful yet wearable use, mean the stone performs well in a variety of settings when mounted with attention to protecting the dome and orientation. For designers and private buyers who prioritize provenance and long term retention of beauty, the absence of heat or chemical enhancements preserves market desirability and collector confidence. Commissioned settings that align the table with the stone’s adularescence plane will showcase its optical character and enhance resale appeal.
