6.78 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent grey moonstone, weighing 6.78 carats and measuring 13.30 x 9.82 x 6.90 mm, stands apart from the smaller, more common cabochons you see in the mainstream market. At this size the stone is large enough to command attention as a ring center or a bold pendant, while remaining proportioned for elegant wearable design. The oval shape and cabochon cut are traditional for maximizing the stone's sheen, giving a polished, moonlike glow that a faceted treatment cannot replicate. Compared with typical commercial moonstones that are often heavily included, heat treated, or dyed to achieve uniform appearance, this gem is unenhanced, naturally appealing, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for high quality feldspar specimens. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level means that inclusions are minimal and do not compete with the gem's surface glow, so when set in a strong statement setting the light play and translucency read clearly from across a room.

When choosing a statement piece you want a gemstone that balances size, clarity, and finish, and this Moonstone excels in all three areas. The medium color intensity provides a versatile neutral presence that complements both white and yellow metals, and the excellent polish ensures a smooth, luminous surface that enhances adularescence without appearing waxy or dull. Compared with mass market alternatives that rely on glass fillers, resin coatings, or color adjustments, this specimen offers genuine value because no enhancements alter its natural character. For designers or collectors seeking standout pieces, this moonstone delivers immediate visual impact while offering the integrity and provenance serious buyers appreciate. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize stones that combine aesthetic appeal with honest disclosure, and this 6.78 carat Ceylon grey moonstone is a prime example, ready to become the focal point of a handmade artisan ring, a dramatic pendant, or a bespoke jewelry commission that signals refined taste and lasting quality.
