6.71 Ct. Ametrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional 6.71 carat bi-color ametrine from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a distinct combination of size, color and clarity that sets it apart from the typical pieces circulating in today’s market. Measured at 19.00 by 8.28 by 5.05 millimeters, the elongated emerald cut maximizes the stone’s face-up presence while showcasing the dramatic transition from rich violet to sunlit golden yellow. Unlike many smaller or heavily included ametrines you may find, this specimen is transparent and eye clean at standard viewing distances, which means it presents an uninterrupted field of color and light that designers and collectors prize. The intense color intensity reported in this piece delivers that rare visual impact where both colors read strongly and distinctly, rather than a muddied or pale wash, and the excellent polish ensures every facet reflects light with crispness and brilliance.

When compared to alternatives on the market, this Ceylon origin ametrine distinguishes itself in several practical and aesthetic ways. Many ametrines are sourced with moderate color saturation or benefit from heat treatment to enhance tone, and some are even assembled or synthesized to mimic the bi-color effect. This gemstone requires no enhancement, a quality that immediately elevates its value and appeal to discerning buyers. Natural, untreated stones command a premium because their beauty is inherent and stable, not the result of laboratory or post-mining interventions. Compared with single-color amethyst or citrine of similar size, a genuine bi-color ametrine provides an immediate visual complexity and versatility, allowing a single stone to read as two complementary colors in different settings and lighting, which is a rare attribute in the colored stone market.

From a craftsmanship and design perspective, the emerald cut chosen for this ametrine is superior to many alternative cuts for a piece of this character. The long step facets and rectangular silhouette emphasize the crisp line between purple and yellow, creating a dramatic gradient that studded or mixed-cut stones cannot emulate. Where a brilliant cut might scatter light and reduce the clarity of the color transition, the emerald cut here preserves both the depth of hue and the linear elegance that jewelry makers love for high-end cocktail rings, bespoke pendants, and elongated centerpieces. The excellent polish reported by our graders ensures that the facets disperse and reflect light cleanly, so the stone reads as a cohesive work of lapidary art, not merely an attractive mineral. In comparison to commercial, mass-market cuts that focus only on carat weight optimization, this stone is cut with proportion and visual harmony in mind, offering both immediate aesthetic pleasure and long-term desirability.

Owning this ametrine from The Natural Gemstone Company is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship that goes beyond simple possession. Financially, untreated, eye-clean colored gemstones with strong, natural color separation and substantial carat weight tend to hold and often appreciate in value better than common, treated, or synthetic alternatives, particularly as demand for unique, natural colored stones grows among collectors and designers. Emotionally and artistically, this gem brings a duality of expression: the calming, spiritual depth of violet paired with the warm optimism of golden yellow, housed in a cut that flatters a wide range of settings and styles. The provenance from Ceylon adds an extra layer of heritage, as Sri Lanka has a long reputation for producing world-class gemstones and for skilled lapidary work. When you choose this ametrine, you are selecting a responsibly sourced, masterfully cut, naturally vivid gemstone that will perform beautifully in custom jewelry, serve as a focal point in a high-end collection, and retain its allure for generations.
