9.20 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a small piece of moonlight, warmed by the earth, resting gently in the palm of your hand. This translucent brown moonstone presents itself with a calm, luminous presence, a companion stone that invites quiet joy and lasting memories. Weighing 9.20 carat, and shaped into a graceful oval cabochon, this gem measures 17.23 by 12.62 by 5.73 mm, dimensions that balance presence with wearable elegance. Sourced from the storied isle of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this moonstone is entirely natural, with no enhancements, and it carries the honest character of a gem formed over time, with a gentle warmth that seems to glow from within.

As light moves across the smooth cabochon surface, a soft lunar shimmer breathes through the body of the stone, a subtle adularescence that promises moments of quiet wonder. The color intensity is light, lending this moonstone a versatile tone that can nestle against gold for a classic warmth, or rest beside cool metals for a refined contrast. At eye level the clarity is graded very slightly included, which means that the stone shows minor natural features that add depth and story, without disturbing the serenity of its surface. The polish is excellent, and the cabochon cut enhances the inner sheen and the tactile pleasure of the gem, inviting touch and lingering looks.

Envision this gem set as the heart of a pendant, suspended over the heart of the wearer, or mounted in a ring where its oval silhouette will catch glances and kindle conversation. With dimensions that give it a commanding yet wearable scale, this moonstone pairs beautifully with delicate halos of diamonds, or with simple bezel settings that celebrate its natural glow. Designers and lovers of fine gems will appreciate how the cabochon form allows the light to travel beneath the surface, revealing layers of soft color shifts and a gentle depth. We at The Natural Gemstone Company are happy to advise on setting styles, metal choices, and design ideas, to help you transform this singular stone into a treasured piece that marks a milestone, celebrates a bond, or becomes a quiet daily indulgence.

This moonstone is more than a gem, it is an opportunity to give a gift that speaks of tenderness and thoughtfulness, a keepsake that captures a shared moment in its inner light. Because it is natural and untreated, it will age and gain meaning as it accompanies life stories, travels, celebrations, and quiet evenings.
