9.28 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that announce themselves, and there are rarities that whisper of refinement and lineage. This white moonstone is of the latter persuasion. We present a translucent, oval shape moonstone weighing 9.28 carat, a stone that carries a gentle, lunar glow and an understated magnetism that rewards a discerning eye. Its cabochon cut gives it a smooth, domed silhouette that evokes classical elegance, and each subtle shift of light reveals a soft, internal shimmer that seems to move beneath the surface. Sourced from the storied mineral beds of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this moonstone arrives at The Natural Gemstone Company in its pure and unaltered state, with no enhancement, a provenance that speaks to authenticity and integrity. Ownership of such an example is an act of connoisseurship, a personal declaration that beauty is best appreciated when it is natural and unadorned by treatments.

For those who value precise information as much as sensory experience, the details of this gem are exceptional. The dimensions are 15.87 x 10.67 x 7.24 mm, a generous and wearable size that retains a refined silhouette without overwhelming a design. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a level of inclusion that assures the stone reads as clean and luminous to the viewer, while preserving the character that makes natural gemstones so compelling. The color is described as colorless color intensity, an absence that paradoxically enhances the moonstone’s internal light play, allowing the adularescence to float like a pearl of the night sky. The polish is excellent, delivering a high gloss surface that intensifies reflections and emphasizes the cabochon form. Each of these attributes, from the exacting cut to the uncompromised polish, contributes to the stone’s measurable and experiential value.

Imagine this moonstone set as the centrepiece of a bespoke ring, suspended as a solitary pendant, or framed within a delicate pair of earrings. The cabochon profile makes the stone ideal for settings that celebrate smooth volumes and fluid lines, pairing beautifully with cool white metals to amplify its inner light, or with warm rose gold to introduce a romantic contrast that whispers rather than shouts. For the collector who curates quiet statements of luxury, this oval moonstone offers versatility, able to carry minimal modern settings as gracefully as ornate vintage inspired designs. Its weight at 9.28 carat gives a presence that is physical and visual, a scale that commands attention in intimate gatherings and in every day wear. Choosing this gem is a decision that elevates a piece of jewelry into heirloom territory, a choice that signals refined taste, an appreciation for natural provenance, and an eye for pieces that will mature in elegance with the wearer.
