9.76 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You are invited to experience one beautiful translucent 9.76 carat oval shape white moonstone, a gem that embodies the quiet luxury of moonlight captured in mineral form. This exceptional gem measures 13.51 x 10.13 x 8.88 mm, and is expertly fashioned as a cabochon to maximize its soft, internal glow. The clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which lends the stone a natural authenticity that only connoisseurs and collectors truly appreciate. Its near colorless intensity allows a pure, luminous presence to dominate, while an excellent polish creates a silky surface that reflects light with sublime restraint. There has been no enhancement, and the gem comes from the storied deposits of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance celebrated for producing moonstones of rare character. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this moonstone not as a commodity, but as a statement, an heirloom quality jewel that speaks to discerning taste and a life lived with an appreciation for the finer things.

On first glance the moonstone reveals a gentle adularescence, a soft blue sheen that seems to drift across its domed surface like a ribbon of light. The cabochon cut is purposeful, chosen to cultivate this spectral play, and the proportions of the oval shape offer versatile elegance for both contemporary and classical settings. Held under a warm lamp the gem exudes a pearly opalescence, and in candlelight it becomes almost ethereal, a private lunar landscape that moves with the wearer. The very slightly included clarity does not compromise the visual purity, rather it confirms the stone is a natural creation, with character you can see and feel. Imagine this cabochon as the centerpiece of a bezel set pendant, framed by a halo of tiny diamonds in platinum to heighten the white luster, or set as a low profile, four prong ring in 18 karat rose gold to impart a modern, romantic contrast. The dimensions make it ideal for a substantial solitaire, where the moonstone can command attention without appearing ostentatious.

Beyond aesthetics, provenance and integrity define the value of this moonstone. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historic locale for exquisite gem material, the stone has been hand examined and graded by experienced gemologists at The Natural Gemstone Company. No enhancements have been applied, ensuring you acquire an entirely natural specimen. We recognize that moonstone requires discreet care to preserve its surface and internal sheen, therefore we recommend gentle cleaning with a soft brush and mild soapy water, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and harsh household chemicals which can harm fine feldspars. Store this gem isolated from harder stones to prevent abrasion, and consider a protective bezel setting if you expect frequent wear, as the cabochon surface benefits from a thoughtful mounting. For those seeking provenance documentation, we can provide a detailed report and photographic documentation, along with bespoke design consultations to translate the stone into a personal jewel.
