62.59 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 62.59 carat translucent grey moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka immediately stands apart from the many smaller, less expressive moonstones commonly offered on the market, the generous oval dimensions of 27.71 x 19.99 x 15.56 mm give this gem a commanding presence that is rare for untreated material, the smooth cabochon cut is ideal for showcasing the stone body and internal light play, the clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level which means the stone reads clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural character that collectors value, the intense color intensity and excellent polish together produce a refined, luminous surface that photographs well and wears beautifully, the lack of enhancement guarantees you are acquiring genuine natural material, and when you choose this gem from The Natural Gemstone Company you are selecting a moonstone that holds its own against larger names and treated alternatives in both physical size and honest provenance.

When compared to the typical market offerings that are often small, heavily included, or subjected to enhancement to improve appearance, this Sri Lankan grey moonstone represents superior value and transparency, many moonstones in its price range rely on heat treatment or oiling to mask imperfections or to intensify hue, those treatments can compromise long term stability and market value, by contrast this piece is unenhanced which preserves the natural mineralogy and ensures predictable behavior under normal wear, in terms of aesthetics the cabochon shape here has been chosen and executed to maximize the stone personality, a well cut cabochon creates even doming and consistent light reflection which enhances subtle adularescence without introducing optical anomalies, the very slightly included clarity grade is a practical advantage for jewelry designers and customers who want a substantial centerpiece with minimal tradeoffs, inclusions at this level add a hint of natural origin and are unlikely to detract from the visual appeal in rings, pendants, brooches, or bespoke pieces.

Value conscious buyers will find this moonstone particularly compelling if they are weighing natural untreated material against lower cost synthetics or heavily treated natural stones, synthetics may offer uniform color or perfect clarity, but they lack the geological story and resale interest of a natural Ceylon moonstone, many mass market moonstones emphasize bright white or rainbow varieties that can feel common, this grey moonstone presents a sophisticated alternative for those seeking understated elegance and rarity, collectors will note the appeal of an intense, consistent grey tone in conjunction with the generous size, jewelers will appreciate how the 27.71 x 19.99 x 15.56 mm proportions allow for classic bezel settings or creative open back styles that highlight translucency and color depth, the excellent polish reduces the need for further finishing work while enhancing tactile feel and light return, in practical terms an untreated, very slightly included stone of this weight and dimension commands a stronger long term market position, because buyers increasingly prioritize authenticity and traceable origin, Ceylon Sri Lanka is widely respected as a source for fine moonstones and that provenance adds to both desirability and confidence.

In short, this grey moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company outperforms many market alternatives by combining a rare and substantial size, honest unenhanced material, refined cutting and polishing, and a clarity grade that balances natural character with visual purity, for designers the stone offers immediate usability with minimal adjustment, for collectors the piece is a showcase quality example of Sri Lankan moonstone, and for gift buyers the gem reads as a considered and enduring choice rather than a mass produced novelty, if you seek a distinguished moonstone that stands above common listings in both physical presence and integrity, this 62.59 carat cabochon is an exceptional candidate, contact The Natural Gemstone Company to request additional imagery, facet reports, or consultation on setting options and provenance documentation, we are ready to help you evaluate how this unique moonstone will perform in your collection or design project.
