1.01 Ct. Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the rugged heart of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, where verdant forests whisper secrets of the past and the air hums with historical whispers, a singular marvel awaited discovery. This was not just any stone—it was a citrine, bathed in a soft, aurous glow, reminiscent of the sun-drenched morning skies above the island. Hidden away in ancient, mineral-rich terrain, the gemstone lay in silent repose, absorbed with the energies of the lands that cradled and nurtured it for centuries. Such is the birthplace of our exquisite citrine at The Natural Gemstone Company, where the story begins long before the stone reached the light of day.

As the skilled hands of artisan miners unearthed this 1.01-carat yellow citrine, they uncovered a treasure imbued with the lore and culture that Sri Lanka is renowned for. This gem's journey took it from the lush gem fields where countless hands worked with respect for the natural world, through careful transportation over rivers and roads that have seen these gemstones travel for ages. This citrine reflects the medium color intensity characteristic of the finest stones from the region, its yellow hue like the island's abundant sun-kissed flora. Polished to perfection with an excellent finish, its mixed brilliant cut reveals facets that play with light, each flicker an echo of the warm tropical breezes.

Crafted to perfection, at our workshop at The Natural Gemstone Company, the citrine's inherent beauty was refined, yet never overshadowed. As jewelry, it becomes more than a stone—it becomes a storyteller. Held up to the eye, the very slightly included clarity grade reveals a minuscule universe within, an enduring testament to its authenticity and origin. Its oval shape, dimensions meticulously cut and cared for, impresses as it unfurls the citrine's vibrance. Each glance into this stone offers a moment of tranquility, reminding us of the distant lands from which it came, and linking its future custodian to the legacy of those who brought it to life. Wearing this citrine is to wear the warmth and soul of a storied island, a connection to earth’s patience and artistry, beautifully hand-delivered by nature and nurtured by artisanship.
