8.72 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company, I am pleased to present a beautiful translucent grey moonstone weighing 8.72 carats, cut into a classic oval cabochon, the proportions measure 13.28 by 8.79 by 8.79 millimeters, the cabochon cut accentuates the smooth dome and allows the internal shimmer to play across the surface, clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the overall body shows a light color intensity that reads a serene cool grey, the polish is excellent which enhances the tactile feel and visual depth, this gem has received no enhancement, and it is sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region well regarded for producing attractive, naturally formed moonstones with pleasing translucency.

This moonstone offers a subtle adularescent glow that shifts gently with movement, a quality that is especially lovely in larger cabochons and that creates an almost moonlit appearance under soft light, the generous 8.72 carat weight and balanced oval silhouette make this gem a striking focal point for a custom ring, a pendant that sings when it moves, or a refined brooch, and it pairs beautifully with both warm yellow gold for contrast and cool white metals for a monochromatic, elegant look, consider a protective bezel or a low profile setting to preserve the excellent polish while still allowing light to reveal the internal glow, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, clean with mild soap and warm water and a soft cloth, store separately to prevent abrasion, and avoid prolonged exposure to high heat or strong solvents, if you would like additional high resolution images, videos of the stone in hand, or tailored mounting suggestions, contact The Natural Gemstone Company and I will assist with matching complementary stones, professional setting recommendations, and any documentation you require to feel confident in this distinctive Ceylon moonstone purchase.
