4.90 Ct. Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present an exquisite specimen of yellow citrine that stands as a testament to expert craftsmanship and superior natural beauty. This transparent citrine measures 11.07 x 10.95 x 7.58 mm and weighs an impressive 4.90 carats, embodying the perfect balance of size and elegance. Its round shape with a mixed brilliant cut enhances the gemstone’s natural luminosity, making it a captivating centerpiece for any collection or jewelry design.

The hue and tone of this citrine are reminiscent of the famed yellow gemstones originating from Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for its unparalleled quality and rich geological history. Ceylon has long been a prestigious source for gemstones, providing a distinctive yellow hue in citrines that cannot be easily matched by those from other locations. Often compared with the vibrant lemon-yellow hues found in Brazilian citrines, Ceylon's citrines exhibit a more subtle and balanced coloration with medium color intensity, which imparts a warm and inviting glow.

The slightly included clarity grade of this gemstone, evaluated meticulously at eye level, provides a unique character that highlights the authenticity and natural origin of the crystal. Unlike the sometimes overly precise, inclusion-free stones which may lack individuality, this citrine offers a glimpse into its geological journey with subtle inclusions that do not detract from its beauty but instead enhance its narrative. The excellent polish applied to the gemstone surface ensures that its radiance is maximized, with light reflecting off each facet in a harmonious dance that accentuates its vivid yellow tones.

In terms of craftsmanship, the mixed brilliant cut employed in this citrine is executed with precision to optimize its brilliance and fire. This cutting style, a sophisticated blend of traditional brilliant cuts, is expertly applied to enhance the gemstone’s scintillation and ensure that it exhibits outstanding optical performance. The Natural Gemstone Company's gemcutters are renowned for their meticulous attention to detail, and this is evident in the perfectly symmetrical facets and smooth girdle that characterize this citrine. This impeccable quality of workmanship is consistent with The Natural Gemstone Company's reputation for excellence.

Customers of The Natural Gemstone Company who appreciate fine details will find this citrine to be an exemplar of sophisticated artistry and natural splendor. By blending the citrine’s inherent qualities with superior craftsmanship, this gemstone is not just a beautiful object but a remarkable statement piece in any premium gemstone assemblage. Whether set within a radiant piece of jewelry or displayed as a standalone gem, this yellow citrine offers both collectors and aficionados a treasure that embodies the rich geological heritage of its Ceylon origin and the expert skills honed by The Natural Gemstone Company.
