7.42 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing one beautiful translucent 7.42 carat grey moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, a classic round shape that measures 11.33 x 11.24 x 7.65 mm, expertly fashioned into a cabochon cut to showcase its soft glow. This gem displays a light color intensity and a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which allows the stone to maintain a clean, serene appearance while preserving the natural character that collectors and designers value. The polish on this moonstone is excellent, providing a satin to glass like finish across the dome that enhances the gem body color and the subtle optical phenomena moonstone lovers seek. There has been no enhancement to this stone, the natural state straight from its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka is presented to you, which adds to its desirability for those who prefer untreated, authentic gemstones.

Visually this grey moonstone has a calm, ethereal presence, soft and translucent rather than opaque, with a gentle internal sheen when caught by light, a quality commonly appreciated as adularescence in high quality moonstones. The cabochon cut, with its smooth, rounded dome and balanced proportions, maximizes that play of light by allowing internal layers and light scattering to show as a floating sheen over the surface. At 7.42 carats and with a diameter close to 11.3 mm, the gem is large enough to command attention in a ring or pendant, yet still refined enough for delicate custom pieces. The very slightly included clarity, when evaluated at eye level, means any internal features are minimal and do not distract from the overall appearance, and the excellent polish ensures a crisp surface reflection that complements the softer body glow.

Origin matters to many buyers, and this moonstone hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a country with a long and respected history in sourcing fine gemstones, and a terrain that produces stones with distinct character. The Natural Gemstone Company sources with an emphasis on traceability and quality, and this piece comes to you untreated, offering the purity of a natural stone without enhancements. In moonstones, natural layering and lamellar structures create the optical effects, and minor inclusions are often integral to that phenomenon rather than detracting from it. A moonstone of this size, color, and clarity from Ceylon brings both aesthetic appeal and a sense of provenance that many designers and collectors prefer, and it is particularly well suited to artisans seeking a stone with authentic natural character rather than one altered to fit a market trend.

For those considering this moonstone for a bespoke piece or as a signature gem, The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to assist with recommendations for setting and care. The cabochon profile and translucent quality shine in bezel and halo settings, and the 11.33 x 11.24 x 7.65 mm proportions sit comfortably in a balanced ring face or suspended as an elegant focal pendant. Care instructions for moonstone are straightforward, moderate handling and protection from hard knocks will preserve the polish and dome, and it is best cleaned with mild soap and water and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners which can be risky for natural, layered gems. If you would like detailed photos, custom mounting advice, or assistance with certification and shipping, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company will provide attentive service and transparent information, helping you bring this lovely 7.42 carat grey moonstone into a finished piece that highlights its singular beauty.
