1.78 Ct. Cabochon Kornerupine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent 1.78 carat oval greenish brown kornerupine from Ceylon Sri Lanka exemplifies gemological refinement and visual charm, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. Measuring 8.43 by 5.93 by 4.12 mm and fashioned as a cabochon cut, this stone displays a medium color intensity that balances warmth and subtle depth, making it versatile in both classic and contemporary settings. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which translates to an eye clean appearance for most observers, and an overall presentation that reads as virtually flawless to the naked eye. The excellent polish further enhances surface smoothness and luster, allowing light to glide across the dome and reveal the kornerupine’s fine internal texture. No enhancement has been applied, so what you see is the gem in its natural state, a characteristic that appeals strongly to informed collectors and buyers who prioritize authenticity and original provenance.

Beyond its technical specifications, this kornerupine’s cabochon profile reinforces optical harmony, with gentle curvature that emphasizes translucency and internal glow, rather than relying on facet play. From every angle the stone offers consistent depth and tonal complexity, a quality that speaks to excellent rough selection and skilled cutting. For an educated buyer, the combination of origin, natural, not enhanced status, and a clarity grade that reads as almost flawless at sight, establishes both rarity and enduring appeal. For those who collect multiple gem species, note that our catalog also includes White Opal examples, and our approach to grading and disclosure is consistent across all gems we offer. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize transparent information about color intensity, clarity grades, cutting style, and origin, so you can assess value with confidence. This greenish brown kornerupine is ideally suited for a statement ring, a pendant where light can interact with the cabochon dome, or a collection that values uncommon, naturally presented gemstones, and its eye pleasing, near flawless presentation ensures it will enhance any setting from every viewing angle.
