16.79 Ct. Smoky Smoky Quartz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a beautiful transparent 16.79 carat smoky quartz, presenting a generous presence for both jewelry and collectible study, measuring 17.29 by 17.34 by 12.49 millimeters. The gem is faceted with an intricate fantasy cut three dimensional design, a cutting style that multiplies internal light paths to produce a lively display of scintillation and depth, and the polish is graded excellent which maximizes facet contrast and light return. Clarity is eye clean when evaluated at normal viewing distance, a meaningful quality in a stone of this size because it allows the unique cut pattern to read clearly without distraction, and the color intensity is light, offering a warm, versatile neutral tone that complements a wide range of metals and design palettes. There is no enhancement to this stone, it is completely natural, and its material properties mirror those expected of quartz with stable durability for everyday wear in rings or as a standout pendant focal point.
