223.10 Ct. Golden Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This remarkable golden citrine from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents an exceptional combination of size, clarity, and craftsmanship, making it stand apart from the common market examples. At 223.10 carats, oval shape, with dimensions of 41.11 by 36.71 by 26.20 mm, this transparent gem is a showpiece that few competitors can match in natural scale and presence. The faceted mixed brilliant cut delivers scintillation and depth that outperforms typical step cuts or poorly proportioned brilliants, and the excellent polish elevates the surface luster so each facet catches light with crisp reflection. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, this stone avoids the visible inclusions that often reduce impact and value in large gems. With medium color intensity the golden hue reads warm and versatile, brighter than pale stones that wash out, yet subtler than overly saturated pieces that limit pairing options. Crucially, this citrine has no enhancement, which distinguishes it from the many heat treated or synthetic alternatives on the market, adding a layer of rarity and assurance for collectors and designers alike.

When compared to other options, this citrine delivers superior value for both aesthetic and practical reasons, it offers a natural, untreated origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka that commands attention without the premium that comparable colored gemstones would require. For everyday wear it pairs effortlessly with casual fabrics and warm metals, bringing sunshine to a daytime look, and for formal occasions its size and mixed brilliant faceting provide the drama and refined sparkle expected of red carpet worthy pieces. Designers will appreciate the large oval outline for statement rings, pendants, and bespoke cocktail pieces, while collectors will value the combination of carat weight, eye clean clarity, and intact natural treatment status. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this citrine as a superior choice for those who want a rare and versatile natural gem, backed by our expertise in sourcing and grading, and we invite you to explore how this singular stone outclasses smaller, altered, or lower clarity stones commonly found in the market.
