7.93 Ct. Rose Quartz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 7.93 carat pear shape purple rose quartz awaits those who appreciate stones that speak softly but with conviction, a gem that bridges the line between classic romanticism and quiet modernity. This gem measures 17.91 x 11.11 x 7.93 mm, and has been fashioned into a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation while retaining the serene depth of its color. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, the clarity of this stone allows light to travel through the body unobstructed, revealing subtle internal reflections that enhance its medium light color intensity. The polish is excellent, every facet flowing into the next with a mirror like finish, and the piece is untouched by enhancement, preserving the natural story held within its crystal lattice. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this purple rose quartz carries with it the long tradition of Sri Lankan gemcraft, and for those assembling complementary pieces it is worth noting the opal type White Opal as a harmonious companion in mixed gemstone settings. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this pear shaped gem as both an object of adornment and a collector grade specimen, suitable for a pendant that showcases its teardrop silhouette, or for a bespoke ring that places its clarity and cut at the center of attention.

When considering hue and tone, this Ceylon purple rose quartz reads as a graceful, cool whisper of pink with a faint lilac tilt, a tone that contrasts beautifully with rose quartz from other celebrated localities. Brazilian rose quartz often exhibits a richer, warmer pink, leaning toward peachy or classic rosy hues that convey a bolder, more saturated presence, while the Ceylon example remains more ethereal, with its medium light intensity offering a gentler, more refined expression. Madagascar produces some of the most intensely pink rose quartz found on the market, with specimens that can read as deep, almost rose red in certain lights, and by comparison our Sri Lankan stone favors a softer, more romantic temperament rather than pure vibrancy. For collectors who appreciate the subtle play between tone and temperature, the difference is as distinct as that between morning light and high noon, the Sri Lankan piece suggesting dawn with its cool undertone, and Brazilian and Malagasy stones suggesting the stronger glow of midday. Compared to related pink gemstones from famous sources, such as Brazilian morganite which tends to present a peachier, warmer pink, or Afghani kunzite which can register a deeper violet pink and show strong pleochroism, the Ceylon purple rose quartz holds a unique middle ground, offering lilac leaning coolness without the strong color saturation of these other gems, and its translucency sets it apart from heavily included or milky varieties, making it an elegant alternative for those who seek a classical pink but desire something distinctly soft and poised.

The history of rose quartz and its place in jewelry going back to antiquity makes this pear shaped gem an especially resonant choice for designs that speak of lineage and legacy, and when set in a timeless mounting its story will be carried forward for generations. From ancient talismans to Victorian lockets, the pale pink stone has long been associated with love and healing, and a transparent, well cut specimen such as this invites settings that allow light to pass and dance, highlighting the mixed brilliant facets and the teardrop silhouette. Consider a bezel that follows the gentle curve and protects the point, or an open gallery pendant that lets the gem breathe, perhaps paired with small accents of White Opal to echo the stone sweetness with a soft, pearly flash, a combination that marries the pastel world of opal to the tender blush of this quartz. At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate each stone with an eye toward provenance, craftsmanship, and the narrative each gem carries, and this Ceylon rose quartz exemplifies that commitment, a piece that will appeal to collectors who value natural, no enhancement gems, as well as to designers seeking a central stone that will age gracefully. For those drawn to the long arc of gem history, and to classic designs that transcend fashion, this pear shaped purple rose quartz is an invitation to own a piece that is at once ancient in lineage and fresh in its delicate, refined voice.
