9.99 Ct. Cabochon Moonstone from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a moon plucked from the first light of dawn, an oval cloud captured in a whisper of stone, a translucent heart that seems to hold a soft tide within its curve. This is one beautiful white moonstone, a 9.99 carat oval that measures 14.46 by 12.54 by 7.16 millimeters, shaped and smoothed into a perfect cabochon cut that invites the eye to linger and the hand to cup it like a secret. Its surface is a poem of light and shadow, colorless in intensity yet full of inner whispers, with a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level that lends it character rather than fault. The polish is excellent, a satin mirror that lets the adularescence swim across the dome when the stone breathes and the wearer moves. Sourced from the storied hills of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this moonstone carries with it the calm and mystery of island nights, untouched by heat or dye, a gem with no enhancement, honest and unadorned, ready to become the centerpiece of a lifetime of vows.

Hold it and you will feel a soft chorus of past and future, a gem that reads like a tender promise. The cabochon form amplifies the moonstone glow, creating a floating light that appears to drift above the surface, like moonlight sliding across a still sea. For lovers seeking a symbol that speaks in sighs rather than in proclamation, this stone offers subtlety and depth. Imagine it set in a halo of warm rose gold, the metal embracing the milky sheen and turning it into a bloom of light against the skin, or imagine it cradled in a cool platinum bezel, a pale moon resting in an urban night sky. Its dimensions make it gracious enough for a solitaire ring with presence, modest enough for a pendant that nestles close to the heart, and versatile enough to grace a custom brooch or a pair of heirloom earrings. The slight internal inclusions are like distant shores on a foggy morning, adding a human touch that tells you this piece is natural, formed over time, not manufactured into perfection.

At The Natural Gemstone Company I have watched this moonstone under many lights, and I will tell you its story with both affection and care. We present it not as a commodity, but as a companion for moments that deserve a quiet center, a stone to witness promises and to catch the light of ordinary mornings and grand anniversaries alike. Its provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka speaks to generations of skilled hands, and the fact that it has no enhancement speaks to a purity that collectors and romantics both cherish. If you seek a gem for an engagement that whispers rather than shouts, for a gift that reads as a vow and a memory at once, this translucent 9.99 carat moonstone offers a rare union of size and serenity. Let it be set with intent, let it be kept close, let it be the luminous pause in the music of your life. If you would like, I can suggest settings, pairings, and ways to secure its beauty for decades, and I will guide you through every step with the care of someone who loves gemstones as much as you hope to love the story they tell.
