8.99 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the quiet language of true refinement a single gemstone can speak volumes, and this moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company speaks with a voice of pure, luminous distinction. One beautiful translucent eight point nine nine carat oval shape white moonstone offers an immediate sense of presence and calm, a rare companion that translates taste into legacy. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a cradle of classic gemological excellence, this stone carries with it the narrative of place and provenance, a story of earth born beauty brought forth without alteration. The dimensions of sixteen point three two x nine point four six x seven point one five mm create an elegant silhouette, an oval geometry that flatters the hand as naturally as moonlight flatters the sea. Presented in a refined cabochon cut, this moonstone exudes an inner glow that invites quiet admiration, a refined object of desire for the collector who understands that true luxury is the sum of authenticity, craft, and discretion.

Observe the surface and you will see why collectors seek the gentle magic of cabochon moonstone, a surface polished with exquisite care to reveal adularescence that glides beneath the skin of the gem like a breath of light. The polish is excellent, each curve and dome rendered with exacting skill so that the light plays and slides in smooth, liquid motion across the stone. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, a characteristic that lends personality rather than detracts, small internal features that catch the light and remind the beholder of the natural origin of the gem. The color intensity is near colorless, a delicate neutrality that allows the adularescent sheen to command attention without competition, a luminous white that harmonizes effortlessly with both warm and cool metals. Importantly, this moonstone is offered with no enhancement, a completely natural expression of mineral grace, preserved and presented exactly as found, for aficionados who demand transparency as the first luxury.

Wearing this oval moonstone is an exercise in understated grandeur, its eight point nine nine carat weight and generous proportions creating a presence that reads as decisive rather than loud. At sixteen point three two mm in length and nine point four six mm across, it sits perfectly in a dignified solitaire ring, poised as a pendant on a delicate chain, or set as the heart of a bespoke cufflink or brooch. The seven point one five mm depth supplies a comfortable dome that enhances the stone's internal light, producing a soft band of shimmer that shifts subtly with motion and will draw thoughtful glances rather than overt stares. For the client who commissions a custom piece, the stone lends itself to classical bezel settings that emphasize its oval outline, and to open back mounts that allow the moonstone to bloom in ambient light. Designers and patrons alike will appreciate how this gem behaves, a responsive partner that complements a quiet wardrobe as much as an evening ensemble.

Provenance matters, and the Ceylon origin of this moonstone adds a layer of prestige that seasoned collectors immediately recognize. Sri Lanka has long been synonymous with gems of refined character, and this moonstone arrives with the artisanal signatures of careful cutting and ethical sourcing. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the integrity of each piece we present, offering full disclosure on origin, treatment, and grading, so that acquisition becomes an informed celebration rather than a gamble. The fact that this gem has not been enhanced is central to its appeal, an unaltered expression of nature that will age with dignity. For those who seek assurance, we provide detailed imagery and attentive consultation, guiding clients through considerations of setting, proportion, and care, because true luxury extends beyond purchase into stewardship of the object itself.
