3.97 Ct. Sinhalite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This golden yellow sinhalite began its story deep within the ancient metamorphic belts of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, where heat and pressure shaped minerals over millennia into quietly luminous treasures. Mined through small scale operations and sourced through long standing relationships with responsible local partners, this gem carries the patient geography of its birthplace in every facet. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace each stone back to its origin, and this particular sinhalite arrives to you without enhancement, a pure example of nature s craft, preserved from the mine to the cutter with careful stewardship. The journey from the field to your hands is marked by respect for the land and the people who bring these stones to light, and for collectors who value traceability and ethical sourcing, this sinhalite is a narrative of place and provenance as much as it is a jewel.

What you hold is a transparent, round shaped sinhalite weighing 3.97 carats, with precise dimensions of 10.25 by 10.20 by 5.44 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation and depth. Its hue reads as a medium intense golden yellow, the color saturating the table without overpowering the stone s clarity. The clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which gives the gem character and authenticity while remaining appealing to the eye. The polish is excellent, which allows light to travel and dance across the facets, producing flashes of warmth and a lively face up presentation. Because this sinhalite is natural and untreated, its color and clarity are wholly its own, a quality that discerning collectors and conscious consumers prize for rarity and integrity.

The crafting of this gem into wearable art is a chapter unto itself, where careful lapidary work preserved the stone s weight and maximized its optical beauty. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to emphasize the gem s inner glow and to offer versatility for designers seeking a centerpiece for a ring, a pendant, or a bespoke engagement piece. In settings that honor ethical values, this sinhalite pairs beautifully with recycled metals and responsibly sourced accent stones, allowing the golden yellow to sit proudly at the center of a mindful design. For those considering practical wear, a bezel or partial bezel setting will protect the girdle and pavilion, while a classic prong mounting will allow more light into the stone if extra care is taken during daily wear. To preserve its beauty, clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and abrasive conditions, and consult The Natural Gemstone Company for specific care recommendations tailored to your chosen setting and lifestyle.

Owning this sinhalite is a way to collect with conscience, it is an invitation to carry a rare piece of Ceylon s geological heritage that has been honored at each step of its journey.
