8.32 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 8.32 carat oval grey moonstone is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, with precise dimensions of 14.61 by 11.47 by 6.62 millimeters, cabochon cut, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, light color intensity, and an excellent polish, enhancement no enhancement, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka. This stone displays the classic moonstone character with a soft internal glow that plays across the dome as the light moves, the translucency allowing for a gentle adularescence that reads as a silvery opalescence against the grey body tone. The cabochon style is ideal for this material, maximizing the sheen and maintaining a smooth, tactile surface that highlights the gem at any angle, the crown and base proportions are balanced to show a full, even face up appearance, and the measured depth of 6.62 millimeters gives the stone a satisfying heft without overpowering a setting.

Visually this moonstone is elegant and restrained, its light grey palette acting as a versatile neutral that complements many metal choices, white gold and platinum will emphasize the cool adularescence, sterling silver will bring out the classic moonrise feel, and rose gold will create a warm contrast for a more contemporary look. The oval shape at 14.61 by 11.47 millimeters is particularly well suited to rings and pendants where the stone can be shown face up to best effect, it will also work beautifully as the center of a bespoke bracelet or as a focal cabochon in an artisan brooch. Given the very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level, the inclusions are minor and contribute to the gemmatic character rather than detract from it, the excellent polish ensures a satiny surface that enhances movement and light play.
