9.49 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful translucent 9.49 carat oval shape peach moonstone, measuring 16.20 x 12.15 x 6.54 mm, is presented for discerning collectors and custom jewelers, cabochon cut to maximize its soft glow and natural depth. This gem has been evaluated with a clarity grade of eye clean at eye level, showing no visible inclusions that distract from its smooth surface and gentle internal shimmer. The color shows a pleasing peach hue at medium color intensity, offering a warm and versatile tone that pairs well with both cool and warm metals. The polish is excellent, giving the cabochon a high luster finish that catches the light in a refined, elegant way. There is no enhancement, and the origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that many buyers appreciate for the regionally distinct quality and historical reputation for fine moonstones.

Visually this peach moonstone offers a serene and subtle appeal, with translucency that allows light to travel through the body while maintaining a softly glowing presence. The cabochon shape is ideal for highlighting the gem’s internal phenomena, creating a luminous face that appears almost lit from within as you tilt the stone in natural light. Because the stone is eye clean, the surface and interior remain unobstructed by strong inclusions, giving a pleasing evenness to the glow. The medium color intensity keeps the peach tone tasteful and wearable, not overly saturated, which means it can be used in delicate designs as well as pieces that demand more visual weight. The excellent polish enhances the tactile smoothness of the cabochon, making it especially comfortable when set in jewelry that sits against the skin.

For design and setting considerations, this 9.49 carat oval cabochon is wonderfully adaptable, ideal for a striking solitaire pendant, an elegant cocktail ring, or a pair of coordinated pieces when matched with complementary accent stones. The oval proportions of 16.20 x 12.15 mm are classic and flattering, offering a substantial presence without overwhelming typical setting designs. A bezel setting will protect the gentle edges and showcase the cabochon silhouette, while a partial bezel or prong design can open up more light to emphasize translucency. Warm metals such as rose gold and yellow gold will harmonize with the peach tone and enhance its warmth, while white gold or platinum will create a modern contrast that highlights the stone’s soft glow. Because the piece is natural with no enhancement, it carries an authenticity that resonates with clients who value untreated gems.
