9.09 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent 9.09 carat oval grey moonstone from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a standout offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, presented in a classic cabochon cut that maximizes its soft inner glow. Measuring 15.06 x 10.65 x 7.65 mm, this gem carries a light color intensity and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which preserves a clean visual appearance while retaining natural character. The excellent polish produces a smooth, lustrous surface that enhances light movement across the dome, and the fact that this moonstone has undergone no enhancement secures its authenticity and long term value. For buyers comparing options, the combination of substantial carat weight, careful cabochon shaping, and untreated origin makes this piece rarer and more desirable than many smaller or altered stones on the market.

When compared to other moonstones and similar gems, this grey moonstone offers several practical and aesthetic advantages. Many market pieces are either heavily included, treated to alter color or clarity, or cut with lower dome height that reduces the stone face up presence, whereas this Ceylon gem displays balanced translucency and a pleasing surface sheen that adapts well to both classic and contemporary settings. The neutral grey tone provides versatility that surpasses overly saturated or artificially enhanced specimens, allowing jewelers and collectors to pair the stone with white metals for a modern look, or with warm tones for contrast. The 15.06 x 10.65 x 7.65 mm dimensions and 9.09 carat weight present a meaningful center stone for a statement ring or an elegant pendant, while the cabochon form ensures durability and strong visual appeal. At The Natural Gemstone Company we focus on sourcing natural, unenhanced material, and this moonstone exemplifies the quality and honesty that discerning customers seek, providing superior value compared to many treated or mass produced alternatives on the market.
