9.66 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

I am pleased to present a beautiful translucent peach moonstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, a rare and elegant specimen that blends soft color with classical cabochon artistry. This gem weighs 9.66 carats, and measures 16.36 by 11.87 by 7.28 millimeters, presented in an oval shape that flatters both traditional and modern jewelry designs. The stone has been shaped as a cabochon to best display the internal glow and surface sheen that moonstones are prized for. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, allowing the stone to maintain a clean appearance while preserving its natural character. The color intensity is very light, delivering a delicate peach hue that reads as subtle and versatile in a variety of metal settings. The polish is excellent, and there have been no enhancements, so you receive a natural, untreated gem with honest provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka.

The cabochon cut of this peach moonstone showcases its translucency and internal light play, qualities that are central to the gem family Moissanites and feldspars are not involved, this stone is a genuine moonstone whose soft shimmer becomes visible as light moves across the dome. The oval outline is elongated enough to create an elegant focal point in rings, pendants, and drop earrings, while the depth and dimensions provide a strong presence without overwhelming more delicate designs. Because the stone is very slightly included at eye level, it offers a natural appeal and interest under magnification, yet remains visually clean to the unaided eye, making it a durable candidate for everyday wear when securely set. The excellent polish enhances surface smoothness and luster, allowing the peach tone to read uniformly while the cabochon dome encourages attractive reflections.

Origin is an important part of any natural gemstone story, and this moonstone comes from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing high quality gemstones for centuries. Stones from Sri Lanka are often prized for their clarity, subtle colors, and fine cutting traditions, and this piece reflects that heritage through its refined finish and natural color. Because there has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, this gem represents an authentic piece of Ceylon geology, offered precisely as it was mined and cut. For collectors who value traceable origin and minimal intervention, this moonstone is an excellent choice. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the accuracy of these details, and we welcome requests for additional images or magnified views to fully appreciate the stone before purchase.

In practical terms, this peach moonstone adapts beautifully to a variety of setting styles, from a classic bezel that protects the stone edge to an open prong design that maximizes light, though a bezel or partial bezel is often recommended for cabochons to secure the dome. For a ring, its 16.36 by 11.87 by 7.28 millimeter dimensions sit comfortably as a statement or as part of a cluster, while as a pendant the stone will have graceful movement and a soothing color center. Care is simple, clean the gem with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoid steam and ultrasonic cleaners due to the cabochon dome and natural inclusions, and store separately to prevent surface scratches to the polish. If you would like, The Natural Gemstone Company can assist with bespoke settings through our trusted jewellers, provide certified documentation, or arrange secure shipping. This moonstone offers a blend of gentle peach coloring, natural origin, cabochon beauty, and honest presentation that will appeal to connoisseurs and those seeking a timeless, wearable gemstone.
