7.19 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are pleased to present one beautiful translucent 7.19 carat oval grey moonstone, a gem that combines subtlety and presence in equal measure. This stone measures 14.35 x 10.83 x 6.16 mm, and its classic cabochon cut has been executed to bring out the best in the material. The gem is from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it is completely natural with no enhancement. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means you will see only minor internal characteristics under close inspection, characteristics that are common in moonstone and that often contribute to the gem feeling alive. Color intensity is very light, giving the stone a soft, ethereal appearance that pairs beautifully with both warm and cool metals. The polish is excellent, resulting in a smooth, glossy surface that allows light to play across the dome of the cabochon with grace. For collectors and designers seeking a moonstone with refined presence and clear natural origin, this gem represents a rare find from a respected source.

Visually this grey moonstone displays a gentle translucence and an inner glow that is especially apparent when the stone is moved under soft light. The cabochon cut is ideal for showcasing the adularescence that moonstone is prized for, allowing the light to flow across the curved surface and produce a floating shimmer within the body of the gem. Because the color intensity is very light, the adularescent effect reads as a subtle sheen rather than a dramatic flash, which makes this piece highly versatile in design. The oval shape is a timeless silhouette that sits comfortably in rings, pendants, and earrings, and with dimensions of 14.35 x 10.83 x 6.16 mm the stone offers substantial presence without overwhelming the setting. The very slightly included clarity grade means the gem retains a predominantly clean appearance to the naked eye, while the inclusion patterns can add character under magnification, a trait prized by many connoisseurs. The excellent polish enhances durability at the surface level, and the cabochon dome will resist everyday abrasion when properly set and cared for.

The provenance of this moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds to its allure, Ceylon is known for producing moonstones with refined coloration and pleasing translucency. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize ethical sourcing and transparent disclosure of origin and treatment, and this gem is offered as natural with no enhancement. That means you receive the stone in the condition it was formed, without heating, dyeing, or other modifications. For many buyers the choice of an untreated stone is a deciding factor, because it preserves the original character and value of the material. When considering metal pairings, the very light grey body color will harmonize beautifully with sterling silver and white gold for an understated modern look, and it will also contrast attractively with warmer tones such as rose gold or yellow gold for designs that favor soft contrast. For settings where the moonstone is exposed to frequent handling, protective bezel settings or secure prong work are recommended, to keep the dome safe and to present the adularescence cleanly to the viewer.

Caring for this moonstone is straightforward, and The Natural Gemstone Company is happy to advise on best practices. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, and do not use ultrasonic cleaners on stones with natural inclusions, because mechanical vibration can stress delicate internal features. Clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, rinse and dry thoroughly, and store the gem set or loose in a soft pouch to prevent surface scratching from harder gems or metals. If you would like additional images, magnified views, or setting recommendations, we can provide tailored assistance and detailed photographs under different lighting conditions to show the adularescence and translucence in context. We also offer the option to include a written description of the gem characteristics and origin with your purchase, to preserve the provenance and grading notes for future reference. This translucent 7.19 carat oval grey moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka makes a refined, versatile center stone for a signature piece or a thoughtful addition to a collection, and we invite you to contact The Natural Gemstone Company to discuss availability, custom setting options, and any questions you may have about this exceptional natural gem.
