7.92 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a truly exquisite gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company—an unparalleled 7.92 carat orange moonstone that captures the eye with its brilliance and depth. This gemstone's distinctive oval shape, equally proportioned at 14.05 x 10.08 x 7.61 mm, is sculpted into a cabochon cut. This craftsmanship technique is chosen deliberately to enhance the stone’s inherent adularescence, a soft billowing sheen that seems to float beneath the surface. This captivating effect, unique to moonstones, mesmerizes with its play of light reminiscent of moonlight. The cabochon’s curved surface and symmetrical form is polished to perfection, demonstrating an excellent polish rating, which amplifies the stone's natural luster.

A key feature of this exceptional moonstone is its clarity, evaluated at eye level as eye clean. This implies that when examined without magnification, the stone reveals no visible inclusions, a rare and sought-after attribute. The medium color intensity of the orange hue enhances the stone’s enigmatic appeal, struck from the heart of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a region recognized as a repository of high-quality moonstones. This origin not only contributes to the stone’s distinct hue and quality but also adds to its historical and cultural significance, making it a collectible treasure for connoisseurs.

What sets this moonstone apart are its remarkable inclusions. The inclusions within this gemstone are not flaws, but rather delicate tracers that sketch a map of its geological history. The inclusions are thin, needle-like structures aligned systematically within the micro-layers of the feldspar mineral, an indication of the slow cooling history during formation. These formations result in its signature schiller effect, setting this stone apart from others, offering evidence of its unadulterated journey from nature to craft. Interestingly, moonstones formed in Ceylon are renowned for this phenomenon, as it translates to a uniquely concentrated shimmer more pronounced than in moonstones of other origins.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we take immense pride in offering gemstones that possess intrinsic natural beauty unmarred by artificial enhancements. This moonstone's natural attributes have been maintained in their purest form, with no enhancements. It is a testament to our commitment to authenticity and natural craftsmanship. We invite seasoned collectors and passionate gem aficionados to explore the wonders of this extraordinary orange moonstone, a gemstone that carries an air of timeless elegance, ensuring it will continue to be an heirloom of prestige and natural splendor.
