23.25 Ct. Cabochon Aquamarine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional Ceylon aquamarine from The Natural Gemstone Company stands apart from the typical market offerings, by combining generous size, natural origin, and pristine finishing. At 23.25 carats, with dimensions of 16.84 by 15.38 by 10.45 millimeters, this cushion shaped stone makes an immediate statement that most commercial aquamarines simply cannot match. Many aquamarines on the market are heat treated to intensify color, or cut to economical shapes that sacrifice personality for yield. This aquamarine is unenhanced, preserving its authentic greenish blue, and its sugar loaf cut offers a charming, classical profile that showcases depth and translucence rather than the uniform sparkle of mass produced brilliant cuts. Evaluated as transparent with a clarity grade of slightly included at eye level, and finished with an excellent polish, it balances eye appeal and natural character, the tiny internal features serving as a guarantee of origin and individuality rather than flaws to be disguised. Compared with smaller or heavily treated stones, this piece delivers superior presence and provenance, making it ideal for collectors and bespoke jewelry makers seeking a truly natural statement gem.

In terms of value and uniqueness, this Sri Lankan gem competes strongly against both Brazilian and African aquamarines, where color tones and treatments can vary widely. Ceylon aquamarines often present a delicate greenish blue that is subtle and elegant, and this stone’s light color intensity fits beautifully into designs that favor timeless sophistication over flashy saturation. The cushion sugar loaf cut concentrates the gem’s natural color and allows light to play softly through the body, creating an inviting glow suitable for rings, pendants, or custom cocktail pieces. Because it is untreated and well polished, the stone requires no disclosure of enhancements and retains higher long term desirability and resale value compared with treated counterparts. If you want a large, natural, and characterful aquamarine that reads as refined rather than factory standard, this 23.25 carat Ceylon cushion is a rare find.
