9.29 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you have been searching for a luminous centerpiece that combines natural beauty, subtlety, and a story of origin, this 9.29 carat white moonstone may be the answer to your quest, and The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present it. This stone is an oval cabochon weighing 9.29 carats, with measurements 15.89 x 12.42 x 6.96 mm, and it displays a translucent, near colorless body that is characteristic of fine white moonstone. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very slightly included, meaning the stone shows only minor internal features that do not detract from its overall luminosity and charm. The polish is excellent, giving the cabochon a smooth, glasslike surface that enhances its soft sheen, and the stone is completely untreated, with no enhancements, coming from the celebrated gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. If you are considering a meaningful engagement piece, a timeless pendant, or a distinguished addition to a gemstone collection, this moonstone brings natural elegance and a subtle optical play that feels both intimate and extraordinary.

What distinguishes this moonstone from many others is the quality of its translucency combined with its cabochon cut. The dome shape maximizes the adularescent effect, the internal shimmer that seems to glide beneath the surface when you tilt the gemstone in the light. This is the feature buyers most often seek when looking for a moonstone that will serve as a focal point in bespoke jewelry. The near colorless body allows the adularescence to appear clean and cool, and because the polish is excellent, the light interacts with the stone in a way that produces a serene, watery glow. For an engagement ring, this 15.89 x 12.42 mm oval offers a substantial presence on the hand without overwhelming more delicate settings. As a pendant, the stone will read as a luminous moon, serenely catching light with every movement. For collectors, the clear provenance from Ceylon adds an element of provenance and desirability, as Sri Lankan moonstones are known for their pleasing translucency and quality.

From a craftsmanship perspective, this moonstone is easy to work with in classic and contemporary settings, because the cabochon cut is a jeweler friendly shape that sits securely in bezels and prongs tailored to cushion and protect the stone. Its thickness, 6.96 mm, gives metalsmiths room to create a secure bezel or to recess the stone into a halo setting for extra protection and visual emphasis. While moonstone has a different hardness than corundum gems, careful setting design will ensure durability for daily wear, especially when protected by a bezel or a raised protective gallery. The very slightly included clarity grade means that any internal features are subtle and natural, often contributing to the depth of the adularescence rather than detracting from it. Because the stone is untreated, it retains the full character of its natural formation, which appeals to connoisseurs who value authenticity and geological narrative in their gemstones. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on setting styles that will both protect the stone and highlight its luminous qualities, whether you are commissioning a handcrafted engagement ring, a statement pendant, or a custom collector s mount.

Choosing this moonstone means choosing a gem that resolves many common concerns buyers have, because it offers natural origin, a generous size, a classic oval cabochon silhouette, and the kind of soft adularescence that completes jewelry designs without needing color treatments or enhancements. If your desire is to find a stone that feels unique and soulful for an engagement or commitment piece, this specimen brings warmth and quiet elegance to that intent.
