9.12 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we are proud to present an exquisite 9.12 carat brown moonstone from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. This captivating gemstone is elegantly fashioned into an oval cabochon, measuring 17.10 x 12.81 x 5.69 mm. The choice of the cabochon cut magnifies its intrinsic beauty by enhancing the natural shimmer that moonstones are celebrated for.

The mesmerizing hues of this Ceylon moonstone offer a medium color intensity, creating a delicate balance between soft browns and muted tans. When drawn into comparison with other renowned gemstone localities, such as the moonstones from India which often exhibit pearly white opacity or those from Myanmar known for their bluish sheen, our Sri Lankan moonstone stands distinctly with its warm, earthy undertones. Its color recalls the subtle radiance found in golden-hour moments, providing a familiar warmth yet remaining utterly unique in its brown tint. This specific hue is not only rare but is indicative of the rich mineral composition found in Sri Lankan deposits.

Clarity is another virtue of this moonstone, assessed with a very slightly included grade, evaluated at eye level. This ensures that the intrinsic quality is not hindered by noticeable imperfections, thus keeping its aesthetic integrity intact. Such clarity strikes a fine balance, preserving the sense of natural authenticity inherent in moonstones while maintaining the high-quality standard expected by knowledgeable gemstone enthusiasts. The lack of enhancements in this moonstone further reaffirms its natural allure, letting its untouched origin shine through flawlessly.

The craftsmanship extends to an exemplary polish, providing a smooth surface that enhances its natural translucence. Every angle captures and reflects light, producing a captivating play of shadows and highlights. This refinement in finishing is a testament to our commitment to quality, ensuring that each piece from The Natural Gemstone Company meets the expectations of our discerning clientele. The unblemished polish allows users to appreciate the intricate play of light—a trait sought after in high-quality moonstones—that displays a soft adularescence synonymous with these gemstones.
