4.48 Ct. Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, emerges a gemstone that the earth herself crafted over countless millennia. This story begins in a region where verdant jungles meet the azure embrace of the Indian Ocean. Here, beneath layers of rich, mineral-laden soil, a secret slumbered, waiting to be unveiled by the skilled hands of local miners whose craft has been passed down through generations. These miners, with great respect for their land and heritage, carefully extracted a treasure destined to transcend time—a beautiful transparent 4.48 carat pear-shaped citrine.

The journey from the heart of the earth to a finished masterpiece is a tale of transformation. The citrine was brought into the world through meticulous cutting and careful polishing. Its dimensions measure 14.25 x 9.89 x 6.13 mm, showcasing a mixed brilliant cut that captures and plays with light like a masterpiece of nature's art. This precision and care in crafting highlight its clarity—graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which allows an unspoiled view into the depths of its spirit. Its intense color, a vibrant yellow reminiscent of the tropical sun at noon, stays with you, resonating an aura of warmth and optimism. Such is the brilliance of this gemstone that the skilled artisans at The Natural Gemstone Company polished it to an excellent sheen, ensuring every ray of light dances across its surface before reaching your eye.
