2.18 Ct. Pink Cabochon Rose Quartz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This specimen from The Natural Gemstone Company is a translucent, 2.18 carat marquise shaped pink rose quartz, with precise dimensions of 12.24 x 6.24 x 3.88 millimeters, executed as a cabochon cut, clarity graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, faint color intensity, and an excellent polish, no enhancement, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka. The marquise outline is engineered with axial symmetry and well defined pointed terminations, while the cabochon dome is profiled to a height that gives approximately 31.7 percent depth relative to length, a proportion selected to balance surface reflection and internal light transmission. The cutter maintained a clean girdle profile and consistent curvature across the table, using progressive preforming and successive fine laps to eliminate zoning and to establish the gently convex face that is essential to this geometry.

Although traditionally described as a cabochon rather than a faceted gem, the geometric marquise form functions as a macro faceting system, the elongated symmetry and controlled dome curvature creating directed pathways for incident light to enter, scatter, and re emerge as a soft luminous field, maximizing perceived light play for a material of faint tone. The excellent polish provides high specular reflection on the dome, while the translucent body allows internal diffusion, so that the minor very very slight inclusions contribute to depth without compromising visual cleanliness at eye level. From a setting perspective, the stone benefits from a low profile bezel to secure the pointed ends and to allow the long axis to capture lateral light, or from an open back gallery to increase transmitted light when additional brilliance is desired. The craftsmanship emphasizes stability and wearability, with careful edge rounding to prevent pressure points during setting, and final hand polishing to preserve the subtle pink hue characteristic of Ceylon rose quartz. For connoisseurs who value precise geometry, natural provenance, and unenhanced material, this marquise cabochon represents a technically refined option, and detailed viewing or mounting guidance is available through The Natural Gemstone Company to ensure optimal orientation and light performance in your bespoke design.
