4.85 Ct. Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

We present an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a gemstone that speaks to connoisseurs and collectors alike, an exceptional yellow citrine that stands apart in both scale and hue, reserved for those who recognize true rarity. From The Natural Gemstone Company comes a transparent 4.85 carat asscher octagon citrine, a stone that in form and presence evokes the highest tier of gemstone artistry. In a market where citrines are commonly found in smaller sizes and variable colors, this gem is remarkable for approaching the five carat threshold while maintaining pristine transparency and a refined medium color intensity. Owning this citrine is not merely a purchase, it is an invitation into a select circle of patrons who appreciate the uncommon marriage of weight, cut precision, and color that only a handful of stones can deliver.

Every technical detail of this piece has been considered to ensure it meets the expectations of serious collectors and jewelers. The gem weighs 4.85 carats and measures 10.04 x 10.03 x 7.54 mm, dimensions that underline its substantial presence while preserving elegant wearability for bespoke rings, pendants, or heirloom settings. The asscher cut, executed in an octagonal outline, yields a cascade of step facets that produce a hall of mirrors effect unique to this style, amplifying the stone s inner clarity and its warm yellow glow. Clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to its exceptional transparency for a citrine of this scale. The polish is excellent, ensuring that light moves over and through the stone with minimal interruption, enhancing the visual depth and the sensation of internal radiance.

Color in citrine is as much about nuance as it is about saturation, and this gem displays a medium color intensity that reads as rich and luminous without crossing into heavy or artificial appearance. Compared to the majority of citrines that are often pale or heavily treated to achieve deeper tones, this Ceylon, Sri Lanka origin stone offers a naturally appealing balance between warmth and clarity, elevated by a gentle heat treatment that has stabilized and refined its golden hue. Heat treatment is a standard and accepted enhancement in the trade, applied with skill to bring forth the best possible expression of the rough material. The result is a citrine that feels simultaneously classic and rare, a color that will stand out in both modern and vintage inspired settings, and that will pair exquisitely with metals and complementary gemstones chosen for subtlety or contrast.

Beyond measurements and grades, this citrine carries an aesthetic and emotional weight that makes it a candidate for serious collection and bespoke design. The asscher step faceting creates a geometric, architectural beauty where each facet contributes to a disciplined play of light rather than a scatter, yielding flashes of brilliance that reward close inspection. At 4.85 carats the stone commands presence on the hand or at the throat, yet its proportions are refined enough to be set as a centerpiece in a custom creation that honors the gem rather than overwhelms it. The origin, Ceylon, Sri Lanka, brings provenance associated with a long history of fine gem material, and when combined with the measured enhancement and meticulous cutting, the piece becomes more than an attractive gem, it becomes a curated treasure. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this citrine as a limited opportunity, a single instance of such a balanced combination of size, cut, clarity, and color, and we invite collectors who seek distinction to consider its unique potential.

Acquisition of this citrine is an entry into an intimate group of owners who value scarcity and refinement. At The Natural Gemstone Company we maintain exceptionally limited inventories of stones of this caliber, and each offering is supported by direct access to our gem specialists, personalized guidance for commissioning settings, and documentation that affirms the gem s origin, enhancement, and visual assessment. For clients who desire confirmation, we provide options for independent assessment and bespoke mounting consultations so that the final piece truly reflects the owner s taste and intention. This citrine is not a common stock item, it is a rare find, and as such availability is singular. When you choose this gem you are selecting a piece that will not only dazzle in the moment but also retain its desirability as a distinctive artifact of taste and restraint, reserved for those who understand the value of owning something genuinely uncommon.
