8.53 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One exquisite yellow moonstone, weighing 8.53 carats, is now available exclusively through The Natural Gemstone Company, a rare find for collectors and connoisseurs of fine natural gems. This gem is fashioned into a classic oval shape, measuring 16.06 x 12.08 x 6.37 mm, dimensions that give it a commanding presence without overwhelming an elegant setting. The stone has been skillfully fashioned as a cabochon, the traditional cut that best reveals moonstone character, and its surface displays an excellent polish that enhances its soft, translucent appeal. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural origin and a mark that adds distinct personality rather than detracting from purity. The color intensity is very light, a delicate yellow tone that reads as refined and subtle under varied lighting, and importantly, there has been no enhancement to alter its appearance, ensuring that what you acquire is a wholly natural example from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing moonstones of exceptional quality. Owning this piece means possessing a specimen that blends geological authenticity with artisan cutting, and it is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company as a single, unique offering.

Visually this moonstone captivates through nuance rather than overt flash, offering a soft internal glow that is characteristic of high quality moonstone, a glow that seems to originate from within the stone and moves gently as the piece is turned in the light. The cabochon form, rounded and smooth, allows light to travel and scatter across its interior planes, providing a whisper of adularescence that complements the pale yellow body color. Because the color intensity is very light, the hue harmonizes with a broad palette of metals and settings, lending itself to creations that range from minimalist and modern to ornate and vintage inspired. The translucency of the material lends depth to the eye, inviting close study, and the very slightly included clarity grade gives the surface a natural texture that will be appreciated by those who value authenticity and the story embedded within a natural gem. At 8.53 carats, the stone commands respect, it becomes a focal point in any jewelry design while still remaining wearable, the size and proportions working particularly well for a statement ring or an elegant pendant where the light can be showcased.

Provenance matters, and this moonstone’s origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka adds a layer of heritage that discerning buyers will recognize and value, Sri Lanka being a historic source of exceptional feldspar gemstones. Because there has been no enhancement, the gem retains its geological integrity, and its current condition represents the work of nature refined by human skill in the cutting and polishing stages. The Natural Gemstone Company sources and presents such pieces with an emphasis on transparency and exclusivity, and this particular moonstone will be offered as a limited opportunity, available to a select group of clients who understand the rare combination of natural origin, careful cutting, and collectible scale. For collectors who assemble a curated portfolio of unique stones, or for patrons seeking a singular center stone for a bespoke commission, this moonstone will serve as a quietly bold statement of refined taste. Owning it is an invitation to be part of an elite circle who appreciate gems that are not mass produced, but rather chosen and curated for their distinct character.

For the client considering this gem in a finished jewelry piece, The Natural Gemstone Company provides expert guidance on settings and care, ensuring the stone is presented to its best advantage. Warm yellow gold or rose gold will emphasize the soft yellow tone, creating an intimate and classic aesthetic, while white metals such as platinum or high quality silver will create elegant contrast and a more contemporary feel, each metal choice changing the mood of the piece in subtle and satisfying ways. A bezel setting will protect the cabochon profile and highlight the smooth silhouette, while a well executed prong setting can elevate the stone to play with light from more angles, a custom gallery design can lift the stone for maximum luminosity, and a halo of small accent stones can provide a refined frame for those seeking additional sparkle. Care is straightforward, remove the gem during heavy activity, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme heat, clean gently with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners that may stress the stone. To ensure confidence in your acquisition, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional high resolution images, video under controlled light, and arrange independent gemological reporting upon request, and because availability is limited this stone will be offered on a first inquiry basis, so please contact The Natural Gemstone Company to secure this rare, natural, and unenhanced yellow moonstone.
