7.06 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you have been searching for a gemstone that feels both intimate and extraordinary, this translucent grey moonstone from Ceylon is a rare find that answers that search. Many customers come to us seeking an engagement stone that is subtle yet full of character, a collector looking for a piece with clear provenance, or a jewelry designer wanting a cabochon that will display a soft internal glow. This oval moonstone weighs 7.06 carats and measures 12.55 x 10.15 x 7.33 mm, dimensions that give it presence without overwhelming a refined setting. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this moonstone as a solution for anyone who wants an elegant and versatile gem, because its cabochon cut and translucent body together create a serene surface that plays beautifully with light, lending a quiet sophistication to rings, pendants, and bespoke pieces. If your aim is a stone that will draw attention for its calm beauty rather than loud color, this moonstone fits that brief perfectly.

This moonstone is cabochon cut to maximize its smooth dome and to showcase its internal sheen and milky translucence. Cabochon shaping is the traditional approach for moonstone, and in this example the cutter has achieved an excellent polish that results in soft reflections and a pleasing tactile finish. With a clarity grade described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone shows only minor inclusions when examined closely, inclusions that in many cases contribute to the character and depth of the gem rather than detract from it. The color intensity is light, a tonal grey that reads as neutral and classic, making it exceptionally adaptable to both white and warm metal settings. Importantly this moonstone is untreated, with no enhancement, which means you are acquiring the natural optical effects and genuine surface condition that collectors and purists value most.

When considering this moonstone for an engagement ring, a signature piece, or a curated collection, several practical advantages make it an excellent choice. The mid size and oval outline provide a flattering silhouette that can elongate the finger when set in a ring, while the substantial cabochon height of 7.33 mm offers a presence that feels precious and deliberate. The gentle sheen of the stone can pair beautifully with a minimalist bezel that protects the edges, or it can be surrounded by accent stones that highlight its soft color. For collectors who prize origin, this gem comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region with a long history of producing gemstones of refined appearance. The combination of provenance, untouched condition, and careful polishing makes this moonstone appealing to both those who collect for rarity and those who choose gems for their wearable elegance.

Beyond aesthetics, the stone is a thoughtful choice for anyone who wants a meaningful piece that is also manageable in daily wear with proper design consideration. Because moonstone is best protected by a setting that shields the cabochon edge, we often recommend a bezel or a protective halo for rings that will be worn frequently. For necklaces and earrings the dome presents a luminous face that catches soft light, creating a calm glow against the skin. The low to light color intensity means the stone will harmonize with a variety of metals and design motifs, from vintage inspired mountings to contemporary clean lines. If you desire advice on mounting choices that will protect and enhance this specific 7.06 carat oval, The Natural Gemstone Company can guide you through metal options and setting styles that preserve the gem while allowing its subtle beauty to be the focal point.

Choosing this moonstone closes the search for those who want a gem that is both authentic and versatile. It meets the needs of customers looking for an engagement stone that is distinctive without being ostentatious, it satisfies collectors who appreciate unenhanced origin and careful cutting, and it delights designers who need a well proportioned cabochon with fine polish. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the presentation of this Ceylon moonstone, and we are ready to help you imagine how it will look in a bespoke design or assist with any questions about setting and care. If your quest has been for a gem that combines quiet elegance, natural condition, and reliable provenance, this translucent grey moonstone is a fitting conclusion.
