5.25 Ct. Ametrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a pocket of twilight and dawn captured in a single stone, a cushion shaped bi color ametrine that holds a violet whisper on one side and a warm citrine glow on the other, a precious dialogue between day and night. This transparent 5.25 carat gem measures 12.75 x 10.66 x 5.99 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut scatters light like a memory resurfacing, each facet a small stage for the soul to perform. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, it offers a clarity that feels like a secret told in confidence, while the medium light color intensity lends a softness that is romantic without being shy. The polish is excellent, the surface so fine that the stone seems to breathe with its own gentle sheen. From the storied soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and enhanced by careful heat treatment, this ametrine arrives to you cradled in the care of The Natural Gemstone Company, ready to be set into a ring that tells your story, or kept as a treasured talisman that glows with possibility.

Beyond the poetry, this ametrine is grounded in practical resilience, resting at about 7 on the Mohs scale. That hardness places it sturdily among the wearables, more resistant than opal and much more durable than pearls, though softer than sapphire and ruby which reach about 9, and a touch softer than topaz at about 8. For everyday pieces, the stone offers reliable wearability, with the caveat that it appreciates mindful love rather than reckless adventure. To preserve its medium light color intensity and impeccable polish, avoid hard knocks, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to intense heat, cleanse it gently with warm water and mild soap, and sleep with it safely tucked away. Whether you imagine it as an engagement gem that will be kissed by sunlight and moonlight alike, or as a keepsake worn close for comfort, this Ceylon ametrine blends romantic allure with honest durability, inviting you to hold two hues and many promises in a single, exquisite heart.
