2.21 Ct. Yellow Cabochon Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.21 carat oval yellow citrine from Ceylon is presented as a classic cabochon, dimensions 9.86 by 7.96 by 4.06 millimeters, offering a balanced domed profile with a precise oval outline, designed to maximize body color and even light transmission. The cabochon cut emphasizes a smooth, continuous surface rather than faceting, and in this example the cutter achieved an excellent polish that produces clear, crisp surface reflections and minimizes light scattering. Transparency is notable for a cabochon, the stone reads as transparent with uniform internal clarity, and it is graded eye clean when evaluated at typical viewing distance, free from inclusions that distract to the naked eye. Color is medium intensity yellow, a warm honey to lemon tone that remains evenly distributed across the table and crown, and the stone displays good brilliance for a domed cut as the thickness of the dome enhances color saturation without appearing heavy. Proportions are well considered, the 4.06 millimeter height provides a vivacious face-up presentation while maintaining wearability for ring and pendant settings, and there are no enhancements, the piece is natural citrine with no heat treatment or irradiation reported.
