5.25 Ct. Yellow Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 5.25 carat oval yellow citrine from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents precise dimensions of 12.96 x 10.65 x 6.89 mm, a well proportioned pavilion depth that measures approximately 58 percent of the average diameter, and an overall faceted cutting style executed as a mixed brilliant cut. The crown has been sculpted with a brilliant facet array to enhance scintillation, while the pavilion geometry is optimized to return light for lively face up brightness. The table is balanced to support color saturation without sacrificing spread, the symmetry is carefully controlled to maintain even facet junctions, and the polish is excellent producing a clean, glassy luster across all facets. Clarity is graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, indicating no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, and the medium color intensity yields a warm golden yellow that reads vivid in daylight and under artificial illumination. There has been no enhancement, the material is natural citrine, and the combination of weight, cut, and clarity makes this stone particularly suitable for statement rings and bespoke settings that demand both presence and optical performance.

The journey of this gem from mine to market reflects a measured program of selection and craftsmanship curated by The Natural Gemstone Company. Extracted from alluvial and primary deposits in Sri Lanka, the rough was hand sorted to identify pieces with even color zoning and structural integrity. Preforming preserved weight while anticipating the mixed brilliant faceting plan, then master cutters completed the final geometry using a combination of traditional lapidary skill and modern optical referencing equipment to ensure ideal facet angles and table proportions. Each stage included quality checks for polish quality, facet symmetry, and inclusion mapping, followed by a final evaluation that confirmed eye clean clarity, medium color intensity, and the absence of treatments. After cutting and grading the stone was photographed and documented for provenance, then presented to our inventory ready for setting. For collectors and jewelers who value technical precision as much as natural beauty, this 5.25 carat Ceylon citrine offers a transparent, color stable, and expertly faceted option that showcases the depth of craftsmanship behind every piece offered by The Natural Gemstone Company.
