2.18 Ct. Cabochon Kornerupine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gemstone that completes a meaningful moment, whether it is an engagement ring that will be worn every day, or a rare specimen for a discerning collector, this kornerupine answers that search with quiet confidence. This one beautiful semi translucent 2.18 carat oval shape greenish brown kornerupine measures 7.15 by 8.12 by 4.55 mm, and it is fashioned as a cabochon cut that showcases depth and subtleties in tone. Its clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads as clean and luminous to the naked eye, while still carrying the character that collectors cherish. The color comes in a medium intensity that balances presence with versatility, allowing the gem to wear beautifully in both classic and modern settings, and the excellent polish gives the surface a refined sheen that catches light in a soft, elegant way.

Beyond the basic measurements, this kornerupine has qualities that make it an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a natural and straightforward gemstone. Semi translucency adds life to the cabochon, permitting a gentle glow from within that changes as the piece moves, and the greenish brown hue is rare enough to feel distinctive, yet neutral enough to complement many metal choices and design directions. Being untreated and with no enhancement, the stone retains its original character as it left the earth, a fact that matters to buyers who prefer authentic, natural gems. The cabochon form smooths reflections and emphasizes color and depth rather than brilliance alone, making it an especially thoughtful selection for pieces where tactile beauty and organic appearance are priorities.

The origin of this gem elevates its story and its value, because provenance matters in the world of fine stones. This kornerupine is from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place with a centuries long reputation for producing gemstones of notable beauty and integrity. Sri Lanka has a unique geology and a long history of gem cutting and trading that lends credibility and desirability to stones that come from its mines. Collectors and jewelers value Ceylon provenance for the way it signals both tradition and authenticity, and a kornerupine from this region often displays character and tonal qualities that reflect its island birthplace. Provenance also supports traceability, and when a gem carries a clear origin such as Ceylon, that provenance becomes part of the narrative you can wear or display, adding intangible value beyond carat and clarity.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this kornerupine as a solution for those who seek something both rare and wearable, a gem that speaks to permanence and personal taste. If you are selecting an engagement stone that will be touched and admired every day, its semi translucent warmth and eye level clarity will feel intimate and genuine, and if you are a collector the natural, untreated state and Sri Lankan origin give it provenance and appeal. For those interested in pairing stones, consider how a White Opal would provide a luminous contrast to the greenish brown tones, creating a conversation between soft iridescence and steady depth.
