16.76 Ct. Ametrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hold this remarkable treasure between your fingers and feel the hush of a story unfolding, a private sunrise caught in crystal form. This is a transparent 16.76 carat radiant shape bi color ametrine, its generous dimensions of 15.42 by 13.43 by 11.31 millimeters asserting an elegant presence without ever shouting. From The Natural Gemstone Company we present a gem that marries the cool, royal whisper of violet with the warm, golden laughter of citrine, a living duality that shimmers from every facet thanks to its radiant cut and excellent polish. Imagine slipping this stone into a ring and watching the light travel through its planes, splitting into two moods, two memories, one jewel. For the person who gives with intention and wears with pride, this is the stone that turns ordinary moments into quiet celebrations, a daily reminder that beauty can be both tender and bold at once.

Beyond its emotional appeal, the technical story of this ametrine is compelling and honest, qualities we treasure at The Natural Gemstone Company. The gem is heat treated to refine its tone, a widely accepted enhancement that accentuates the natural zoning between amethyst and citrine within a single crystal. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means under casual and admiring scrutiny the gem reads as clean and luminous, with inclusions small enough to be part of the character rather than distractions from its light. The light color intensity is delicate and refined, allowing the violet and golden bands to glow without overpowering, while the radiant cut transforms every millimeter into sparkle, balancing faceted brilliance with step-like depth. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this ametrine carries the long, noble lineage of Ceylon gems, a provenance that whispers of tropical soils and centuries of gem-hunting tradition.

To place this stone among the greats of gemstone lore is not to equate price or fame, but to celebrate what it echoes from history while asserting its own singular value. Think of the storied allure of the amethyst, once worn by bishops and crowned in royal jewels, its purple hue a symbol of balance and tranquility, and pair that with the sunlit optimism of citrine, a gem celebrated for its warmth and prosperity. This ametrine does what few gemstones can do, it contains both spirits. Like alexandrite, which astonishes with a chameleon heart, this bi color ametrine carries a shifting personality, not by changing color under different lights, but by offering two distinct colors in harmonious coexistence, granting the wearer an intimate versatility that antiques and crowns have always coveted. Its substantial carat weight and radiant cut give it the commanding poise of large historic gems such as the Star of India in terms of presence, yet its delicate duality calls to mind the rare individuality of the Dresden Green, a singularity in color that made it legendary. Here is a gem that references centuries of gemstone passion, while remaining utterly modern and wearable.

Imagine gifting this ametrine, or choosing it for yourself, and feeling the kind of joy that settles into your chest and refuses to leave. In the light of day it is playful and golden at the heart, at twilight it leans toward contemplative violet, and in every setting it becomes a story starter, an heirloom in the making. The radiant cut and excellent polish mean this gem will catch and return light with the lively temperament of a jewel meant to be worn, and its quartz family hardiness, with a Mohs rating around seven, provides reassuring durability for regular use when set with care. At The Natural Gemstone Company we invite you to imagine this stone set as a high-set statement ring that greets every handshake with a secret, or as a pendant that nestles close to the heart and changes with the mood of the day. We are committed to full transparency about enhancements and origin, and we will gladly assist with bespoke design, secure certification, and careful presentation so that the first time your stone is admired, it will already feel like part of a long, treasured story. Choose this ametrine and create a new chapter of joy, elegance, and undeniable presence.
