2.02 Ct. Rhodolite Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Born in the ancient gem gravels of Ceylon, this pinkish purple rhodolite garnet carries the warmth of Sri Lanka in every facet. Formed under long cycles of heat and pressure, the rough crystal was discovered in pockets known to produce some of the islands most vibrant stones. Hand selected by specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company, the parcel that produced this particular gem was chosen for its exceptional transparency and hue. From the mine to the hand of a master cutter, the rough was never subjected to heating or other enhancements, preserving its authentic nature. The finished gem is a transparent, oval shape, weighing 2.02 carat, with dimensions of 7.93 by 6.41 by 5.16 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish. These exacting qualities reflect a lineage of care, from responsible sourcing in Ceylon to the precise decisions made at every stage of the gem making process.

The story continues in the cutting room, where the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize both color and fire, transforming a rough crystal into a jewel that commands attention. Facets were placed to dance with light, creating flashes of lively pink and purple that shift with movement, while the oval silhouette offers a balanced, elegant face up presentation. The excellent polish amplifies the gem light return, producing a brilliance and depth that makes this rhodolite a natural centerpiece in any collection. Whether set as a solitaire ring, a refined pendant, or the focal point of a bespoke design, this gem offers a rare combination of size, clarity, and vivid tone that will perform beautifully under varied light. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this rhodolite is a testament to the journey from earth to artistry, a gem that tells a story of place, time, and expert hands, ready to become an heirloom that carries its origin and brilliance into the next generation.
