6.03 Ct. Cabochon Rose Quartz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 6.03 carat round pink rose quartz measures 12.03 x 12.13 x 5.99 mm, presenting a near perfect symmetry in both length and width, and a measured depth that preserves translucence without sacrificing durability. The stone is cut as a cabochon, with a well proportioned dome that allows light to diffuse evenly through the material, accentuating the characteristic soft pink hue. Clarity is assessed as eye clean at standard gemological viewing distance, which means there are no inclusions apparent to the naked eye that would interfere with a clean visual plane in finished jewelry. Color intensity is graded as medium light, offering a balance between the delicate pastel tone that defines classic rose quartz and sufficient saturation to read strongly in daylight and under indoor illumination. The polish is excellent, delivering a smooth, reflective surface across the dome and girdle, and the piece is natural, with no enhancement, origin verified as Ceylon Sri Lanka, which is known for producing rose quartz specimens with fine color and homogeneity. The cabochon profile thickness of 5.99 mm yields structural integrity for securing in bezel or prong seats while maintaining a pleasing visual heft on the finger or pendant.

For custom jewelry applications this specimen is exceptionally well suited due to its round shape and precise dimensions. The near perfect round outline simplifies custom mounting, enabling consistent bezel walls or precision prong placement without the need for extensive custom fitting of the stone perimeter, which reduces labor time and risk during setting. The 12 mm class diameter positions the gem in a size range ideal for statement rings, solitaire pendants, or prominent earrings, while the medium light color ensures versatility in pairing with metals from warm 18 karat gold to cool white gold and platinum. The cabochon dome offers a tactile comfort and an archival safety for daily wear, making bezel settings particularly appropriate when durability and protection of the dome surface are requirements. For designers aiming to create matched pairs or complementary multi stone compositions, the round geometry facilitates radial symmetry and the creation of concentric halo frameworks. Compatibility with accent stones is excellent, and we note that White Opal is a particularly harmonious companion, providing a complementary play of soft body tone and subtle fire to enhance the gentle chroma of the rose quartz, whether used as side stones, inlay elements, or as a contrasting centerpiece in mixed gemstone ensembles.

From a lapidary and gemstone handling perspective the cabochon execution reflects careful orientation and material selection. The cutter has set the table of the dome to maximize the evenness of color distribution across the table, avoiding off center color zoning and minimizing banding. The uniformity of the dome curvature indicates controlled preforming and polishing steps, producing an attractive internal light diffusion without windowing or excessive dark banding at the girdle area. The excellent polish implies fine final abrasives and careful burnishing, which preserves the optical qualities of the surface and ensures that metal settings will sit flush against the girdle without gaps. Rose quartz is quartz family material with robust hardness suitable for daily wear, and the absence of enhancements means the gem will age predictably under normal care regimes. For the craftsman, the provided dimensions and weight allow accurate CAD models and wax patterns to be produced with predictable stone behavior during setting. When working with White Opal as an accent, consider contrast in setting heights and the use of open backed bezels or semi bezel treatments to allow opal light interaction without compromising the silhouette of the rose quartz centerpiece.

The Natural Gemstone Company offers this piece as a premium option for bespoke projects where material integrity and predictable mounting are priorities. We can provide high resolution imagery, matching measurements for CAD upload, and verified origin documentation on request to support appraisal and certification workflows. For custom commissions our bench can advise on optimal bezel wall thickness, prong counts for round cabochons, and metal choices that will both protect the dome and enhance the medium light pink color. If you wish to explore paired designs with White Opal, we can source complementary opal pieces matched for tone and approximate size to produce balanced compositions. Our team is available to discuss mounting tolerances, setting strategies for cabochon protection, and finishing options that will maximize the visual depth and longevity of this fine 6.03 carat round rose quartz from Ceylon.
