6.25 Ct. Sphalerite from China

Imagine holding a rare flash of sunlight in the palm of your hand, a gem that seems to hum with warmth and promise, a jewel that stops time for a single breath. This exquisite greenish yellow sphalerite from The Natural Gemstone Company is that moment made permanent, a transparent cushion shaped treasure that commands attention and invites admiration. Weighing 6.25 carats, with precise dimensions of 11.02 x 9.38 x 6.57 mm, this stone is large enough to serve as the dramatic centerpiece of an heirloom ring or a striking pendant that catches the eye from across the room. Its hue is a lively marriage of green and yellow, an intense color intensity that shifts and deepens as it moves, creating a performance of light that feels intimate and theatrical at the same time. The mixed brilliant cut gives its facets the ability to dance with every gesture, while the careful symmetry of the cushion shape keeps the overall effect refined and undeniably wearable.

What makes this sphalerite such a true statement piece is not just its size, but the clarity and finish that allow that size to speak without distraction. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very very slightly included, which means that to the naked eye the stone appears clean and pristine, with the internal characteristics lending life and character rather than detracting from the visual purity. When you press the gem to light you can see how the interior is a stage for fire and reflection, every facet cut to enhance scintillation and depth. The excellent polish ensures that every plane catches and releases light with effortless grace, leaving bubbles of brilliance that seem to float inside the gem. Treated gently with heat to refine its color, this sphalerite from China has been prepared to reveal the fullest expression of its natural beauty, while respecting the integrity that serious collectors and designers seek.

Picture this cushion sphalerite set as a single solitaire that rests like a sunburst on a slender band, or imagine it surrounded by a halo that amplifies its golden green glow and transforms it into a wearable story. At 6.25 carats the gem sits confidently on a finger, but it also translates beautifully to a pendant where the larger table allows the color and clarity to sing with every movement. Designers will appreciate the mixed brilliant cut, because it combines the brilliance of round facets with the soft elegance of a cushion outline, offering both flash and depth. The generous table created by the 11.02 x 9.38 mm face gives jewellers room to create settings that let light enter and return, a key factor in maximizing the dramatic life of a statement gem.
