2.18 Ct. Cabochon Kornerupine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments in life that deserve to be marked by something rare, beautiful, and utterly true, and this 2.18 carat semi translucent oval kornerupine from Ceylon, Sri Lanka is exactly that kind of treasure. From The Natural Gemstone Company I am delighted to present this oval shape kornerupine, measuring 7.15 by 8.12 by 4.55 mm, carved into a gentle cabochon cut that invites the eye to linger and the hand to touch. Its greenish brown hue, with medium color intensity, carries a quiet, earthy elegance that feels both ancient and intimately modern, like a secret kept between the sea and the forest. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural origin and minimal interference with its inner beauty. With no enhancement, and an excellent polish that lends a satiny sheen to every curve, this kornerupine offers a depth of feeling that is immediate and enduring.

Imagine the scene when this gem meets the light, how the cabochon surface softens reflections into a sensual glow, how the greenish brown tones whisper stories of tropical soil and warm monsoon skies, how every facetless curve seems to hold a mood, a memory, a promise. For someone who cherishes subtlety, this kornerupine will sit close to the skin and reward intimacy, revealing new shades as you move through the day. Set as a pendant, it will rest like a private talisman near the heart. Set as a ring, it will become a conversation that begins with a touch and ends in an embrace. Paired with White Opal, the contrast is breathtaking, the opal bringing a pale, iridescent canvas that allows the kornerupine to read as a deep, soulful note. White Opal will highlight the kornerupine, and together they will create an effect that feels like moonlight on an old wooden harbor, a softness that elevates the greenish brown into a jewel of quiet intensity.

Choosing this kornerupine from The Natural Gemstone Company is a choice for authenticity, for a gem that has not been altered, and for a provenance that matters. Ceylon, Sri Lanka is a place of myth and mineral riches, and this stone carries that heritage with natural dignity. Because it is untreated, every nuance of color and every tiny inclusion is part of its story, evidence that this beauty was formed over time and not manufactured by technique. The excellent polish enhances its tactile appeal, creating a luminous, almost liquid surface that invites both sight and touch. When you hold it, you will feel the care that went into its shaping, and you will understand why cabochons have been prized for centuries, for their ability to celebrate color, depth, and inner life without the distraction of facets. The dimensions and the weight make it versatile for many settings while maintaining a presence strong enough to be noticed and gentle enough to be treasured.

If you are looking for a gift that expresses devotion, a ring that will be passed down, a pendant that will become a signature piece, or a unique accent stone to complement White Opal in a bespoke design, this kornerupine will serve as an unforgettable choice. Caring for it is simple, keep it away from harsh chemicals, store it separately to avoid scratches, and wipe it with a soft cloth to preserve its polish and luster.
