4.45 Ct. Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The journey of this exquisite 4.45 carat pear-shaped yellow citrine began millions of years ago beneath the surface of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. This gemstone was naturally formed in the rich mineral beds of this island, during an era when geological changes transformed the landscape, giving birth to precious minerals. The mineral quartz, when combined with just the right amount of iron, forms citrine, recognizable by its radiant yellow hue. This particular specimen, with its vibrant yet medium color intensity, was naturally crafted under high pressure and temperature conditions, resulting in the mesmerizing hue that distinguishes it today.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we acquire citrine that has been meticulously fashioned, and this piece is no exception. The pear shape, one of the most revered cuts for colored gemstones, highlights the stone's ability to capture and reflect light, a phenomenon amplified by its transparent nature and mixed brilliant cut. This cut is an exquisite convergence of tradition and modern faceting technique, merging brilliant-cut crown elements with step-cut pavilion facets to enhance the stone’s natural brilliance and fire. Such precision in faceting ensures that the gemstone dazzles, showing complexity and depth with every subtle movement.

This citrine's clarity grade of very slightly included, as evaluated at eye level, ensures that the gemstone maintains exceptional clarity. Such a rating indicates the presence of minor inclusions that are barely visible without magnification, maintaining the citrine’s innate beauty and appeal. The clarity is a testament to the exceptional natural conditions under which the gemstone was formed, as well as the careful handling it received during the crafting process. The origin from Ceylon further adds to the piece's rarity; Sri Lankan gem mines have long been renowned for producing stones of unique color and purity.

Craftsmanship is another defining feature of this citrine gemstone. The excellent polish not only enhances its luster and light reflection, but also suffuses the stone with an irresistible inner glow. Each facet, cut with precision and care, is a reflection of our commitment to quality and the artistry employed by The Natural Gemstone Company.
