9.66 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, nature weaves a story as timeless as the moon itself. Nestled in the rich earth, hidden away from the eyes of many, lies a treasure waiting to be uncovered. This is the birthplace of our stunning brown moonstone, a gem that has traveled from the heart of the earth to the hands of skilled artisans. Its unique journey begins in the verdant hills where miners, guided by both tradition and expertise, carefully seek the natural wonders hidden beneath the soil. Here in these storied lands, every gem has a story embedded within its vibrant hues, and this particular moonstone is no exception.

Harvested from the fertile grounds of Sri Lanka, the moonstone emerged into the daylight, its beauty hinting at the potential it would soon realize. Its appealing brown hue, medium in color intensity, is reminiscent of the rich earth from which it came. This moonstone is special, with a vibrant color that promises to stand out in any jewelry setting. With an impressive weight of 9.66 carats and dimensions measuring 16.36 x 11.87 x 7.28 mm, every aspect of this gemstone speaks echoes of its lustrous journey. It possesses an excellent polish that enhances its natural beauty and invites light to dance across its cabochon surface, creating an ethereal shimmer.

The journey from raw earth to enchanting jewel is meticulously performed by master cutters who honor the gem's origin and beauty. As the delicate art of cutting unfolds, the moonstone's potential is realized, crafted to perfection with a precision that transforms raw stone into art. The cabochon cut is selected to accentuate the moonstone's translucent allure and cater to its slightly included clarity, giving it a unique character that sets it apart from other gems. These inclusions, faint as they are, whisper tales of ancient geological processes, embedding the moonstone with a timeless history. Under the revered hands of the artisans, the moonstone finds its form, honed to perfection to ensure it depicts both the mystical past and the vibrant present.

When it finally arrives at our workshop, The Natural Gemstone Company, the moonstone is ready to create memories brighter than its sheen.
