14.73 Ct. Cabochon Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional aquamarine offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare and singular discovery for connoisseurs who seek both provenance and presence, a magnificent transparent gem weighing 14.73 carats, presented in a graceful cushion shape and measuring 19.20 by 14.23 by 8.31 millimeters, exhibiting a serene greenish blue tone with a medium color intensity that speaks of oceanic depths and island lagoons, cut in the distinguished sugar loaf style that marries classical form with contemporary charm, graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, finished to an excellent polish, originating from the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and delivered entirely natural with no enhancement, a combination of attributes that immediately marks this piece as a collector grade stone and a centerpiece for any bespoke creation.

The brilliance and visual life of this stone arise from the intimate dialogue between its crystalline beryl structure and the artisanal sugar loaf cut, the inherent clarity and internal lattice of beryl directing light through the pavilion and crown in a manner that diffuses and radiates subtle flashes, the cushion outline softens the edges so that light is gently refracted across broad planes, while the distinctive sugar loaf faceting concentrates luminance toward the crown creating a luminous cross pattern that shimmers as the viewing angle shifts, this interplay produces a sparkle that is less about aggressive fire and more about a sophisticated, watery brilliance that other gems often lack, the result is a refined scintillation, a calm vivacity that makes the gem read as both luminous and tranquil at once, and because this aquamarine is unheated and untreated, every photon it returns is true to its origin, a testament to the natural forces that formed it deep within the earth.

What elevates this aquamarine to a place of genuine exclusivity is the convergence of size, origin, clarity, and cut, large, untreated aquamarines from Ceylon with such meticulous polish and a very slightly included clarity at eye level are exceedingly scarce on today’s market, each stone of this caliber represents a small number of discoveries, a finite opportunity to own something inherently limited in supply, when set into a custom ring or pendant the gem will carry forward its unique geometry and soft blue green signature, the sugar loaf dome gives designers a sculptural focal point that complements fine bezel work or a minimal prong setting that lets light play freely, collectors who value provenance will appreciate that the gem’s Sri Lankan origin imparts a particular character, a restrained, elegant hue that differs from more aggressively blue aquamarines, and this combination assures that ownership is not just a purchase, but an induction into an exclusive circle of custodians who steward rare natural beauty.
