5.81 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Citrine Pair from Brazil

This pair of transparent yellow citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company comprises stones of 2.84 carats and 2.97 carats, shaped as matched ovals and cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize light return. The stones measure 11.06 x 8.60 x 5.38 mm and 11.08 x 8.90 x 5.34 mm respectively, and present a medium intense yellow tone with excellent polish. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, offering eye clean appearance with minimal internal features that do not detract from the overall transparency and sparkle. These citrines are heat treated to achieve stable and consistent color, and are sourced from Brazil, a well recognized locality for high quality quartz varieties. The mixed brilliant cut provides a balanced table and crown relationship, yielding lively scintillation and an even color distribution across each oval face, suitable for matched pairs in earrings or side by side settings.

From a durability perspective these citrines perform well for daily wear when set and cared for appropriately. As varieties of quartz they have a Mohs hardness of seven, which gives good resistance to everyday scratching from softer materials and common abrasions, while remaining easier to work with than harder gem species. Quartz has no true cleavage, which reduces the chance of sudden splitting along planes, although the material can exhibit conchoidal fracture if struck sharply, so protection from hard impacts is advisable. The excellent polish minimizes surface wear and helps maintain the gem lustre through regular use, and the routine nature of the heat treatment means color stability under normal lighting and wear conditions. Recommended settings for frequent use include bezel or partially bezel mounted designs and secure multi prong settings that reduce risk of edge chipping while allowing light to enter the stone. For maintenance avoid prolonged exposure to strong acids, abrasives, and extreme heat, and clean with mild detergent and a soft brush or ultrasonic cleaning where appropriate. These attributes make this matched citrine pair a practical and attractive option for daily jewelry designs, combining pleasing color and clarity with robust handling characteristics, offered and described by The Natural Gemstone Company.
