8.44 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You are looking for a gemstone that answers a search for rarity, warmth, and timeless elegance, and this orange moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company presents itself as that final solution. Whether your goal is to design an engagement ring that feels personal and unexpected, or to add a singular piece to a collector s trove, this gem satisfies both emotional and technical desires. At 8.44 carats it carries presence without overwhelming a design, and its translucent body delivers depth and subtle inner glow that changes with light and movement. The soft oval shape and smooth cabochon cut emphasize the serene color and surface sheen, making this stone a natural choice for someone seeking an intimate, luminous focal point. You will appreciate that this moonstone is completely natural, with no enhancement, and that its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for moonstones of fine color and clarity.

From a gemological perspective this moonstone offers precise attributes that make it both wearable and collectible. The dimensions are 15.99 x 12.08 x 6.03 millimeters, an ideal scale for center settings in rings, pendants, and custom pieces where proportion matters. Its clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone shows only minor internal character that does not detract from overall beauty. The color intensity is medium intense, providing a warm orange hue that remains elegant and adaptable to both yellow and rose metal mounts. The cabochon cut complements the mineral s optical properties, producing a smooth domed surface and a subtle shimmer that is enhanced by an excellent polish. Because there are no treatments or enhancements, you are choosing an authentic natural specimen that will retain its natural charm and market desirability over time.

If your priority is a meaningful piece that will be treasured for years, this moonstone is an outstanding candidate. For an engagement ring you might choose a simple bezel to protect the cabochon and emphasize its soft silhouette, or a low halo setting to frame the stone without overpowering its warm glow. For a pendant, a clean mounting that allows light to pass around the stone will showcase the translucence and inner radiance. Collectors will value the combination of size, natural origin, and the fact that the gem is untreated, all factors that support long term appreciation. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the integrity of each item, and we will assist with measurements, setting suggestions, and condition details to ensure the gem suits your vision. We also advise basic care measures to preserve the stone s polish and color, such as avoiding harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to intense heat, and choosing gentle cleaning methods instead of high impact mechanical cleaning. Your search for a distinctive, warm, and authentic moonstone can conclude here, with this orange cabochon from Ceylon Sri Lanka ready to become the centerpiece of your next heirloom quality piece.
