1.68 Ct. Yellowish Green Sinhalite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A sinhalite of this quality is a rare and compelling jewel, an object of desire that announces refined taste and connoisseurship. Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 1.68 carat cushion shape sinhalite measures 7.97 by 6.69 by 4.26 millimeters, and it is cut and faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and depth. The stone displays an intense yellowish green hue that lives between lemon and chartreuse, a color that is at once luminous and sophisticated, and that shifts subtly with movement to reveal warmer and more verdant notes. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a distinction that preserves the gem s crystalline purity while allowing the natural character that collectors prize. The polish is excellent, each facet meeting with precision to yield a surface that reflects light with crystalline purity. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing gemstones with exceptional color and provenance. Importantly, this sinhalite has received no enhancement, a quality that affirms its natural beauty and rarity.

To understand why this specimen is so exceptional, one must consider both size and color in the context of the sinhalite market. Sinhalite is uncommon in the gem world, and stones that combine transparency, intense color, and substantial carat weight are considerably rarer still. Many sinhalites enter the market at smaller sizes and in more muted tones, often brownish or grayish, which require the connoisseur s eye to appreciate. By contrast, a cushion cut example of 1.68 carats with a vivid yellowish green saturation from Ceylon is an extraordinary find. In size, this gem occupies a select category where presence and wearability converge, large enough to command attention in a ring or pendant, yet measured enough to remain elegant and versatile. In color, the intense yellowish green of this stone is a scarce occurrence among sinhalites, which more commonly present subtler or earthier hues. The lack of any enhancement further elevates its status, because untreated stones with such clarity and color are the most coveted by collectors and investors who prize authenticity and geological provenance over artificial treatments.

Owning this sinhalite is a statement of discernment and achievement, a jewel that confers distinction without ostentation. Set into a bespoke mounting, the cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant facets will sing with light, offering a play of brightness and depth that flatters every gesture. For those who commission high jewelry, this gem will translate into a signature piece that reads as both modern and timeless, suitable for a refined solitaire ring, an elegant pendant, or an heirloom brooch. Because it is untreated and of Sri Lankan origin, it carries both natural integrity and storied provenance, qualities that appeal to collectors who value rarity as much as beauty. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this sinhalite with full confidence in its pedigree and beauty, and we stand ready to assist with bespoke design, certification, and careful setting recommendations that will protect and showcase this rare treasure. For the client who seeks a gemstone that articulates refinement, rarity, and authenticity, this yellowish green cushion sinhalite is not merely an acquisition, it is an affirmation of impeccable taste.
