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

From the moment a vein of quartz was revealed beneath the sunburnt soil of Brazil, these two citrines began a journey that blends the rhythms of the earth with the attentive hands of craftsmen, a journey The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to share with you. In their raw form these crystals rested within pegmatite pockets and alluvial beds, fed by ancient rivers and cooled by geological time. Local miners who work with our partner communities gently extract the material using low impact methods designed to preserve surrounding soil and waterways, techniques such as selective hand digging, controlled mechanized removal with sediment capture, and immediate reclamation of disturbed areas. As stewards of the land the teams reseed and reforest mined plots, and rivers used in processing are filtered and recycled so that the landscape can return to life. We source these particular stones from Brazil because the region yields rough of exceptional clarity and structure, and because our relationships there support fair wages, safe working conditions, and community investments that help build schools and sustainable local businesses. The result of that careful harvesting is a pair of transparent oval yellow citrines weighing 2.95 carats and 3.23 carats respectively, each oval shaped mixed brilliant cut gem bringing forward the mellow glow of their Brazilian origin.

The transformation from rough crystal to the glittering, matched pair you see took place in workshops where time honored lapidary skills meet modern precision. Our cutters considered each rough piece like a story to be revealed, mapping internal growth lines and inclusions at magnification and aligning facets to maximize fire and brilliance while preserving weight and achieving balance between the two stones. Both gems are cut to oval proportions and finished with a mixed brilliant cut to create a lively play of light across their tables and facets. Their dimensions are 10.85 by 8.85 by 5.84 millimeters for the 2.95 carat stone, and 11.14 by 8.86 by 5.45 millimeters for the 3.23 carat stone, measurements that lend themselves beautifully to matched earrings, a pair of complementary rings, or a bespoke pendant set. Each gem was evaluated at eye level and graded as eye clean, which means that when viewed with the naked eye the beauty is uninterrupted by visible inclusions. The color sits at a pleasing medium intensity, a warm sunlit yellow that balances saturation with transparency, and the polish is excellent, a mirror like finish that allows light to enter and reflect with minimal diffusion. These citrines have been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that intensifies the natural yellow tones and ensures consistency across the pair. We are transparent about this enhancement because it allows us to offer you a reliably vivid hue while maintaining the integrity of the natural material.

When you choose this pair from The Natural Gemstone Company you are choosing more than beautiful stones, you are choosing a mindful story from mine to market. In our workshops energy use is optimized during heating and cutting, and we implement waste reduction strategies so that offcuts are repurposed for smaller gem production or returned to community craft programs. Packaging is recycled and biodegradable, and every purchase contributes to our ongoing investments in the Brazilian communities and reclamation projects that make responsible gem sourcing possible. For the person who loves to design their own jewelry, these citrines are versatile, their oval faces working elegantly in prong, bezel, or halo settings, and their medium intensity hue pairing wonderfully with warm metals such as yellow gold and rose gold, or providing a sunny contrast in white gold and platinum. On the hand these stones, at near three carats each, sit with presence and sparkle, catching light across their mixed brilliant facets while remaining refined and wearable. If you would like guidance on settings, matching metals, or certification documentation, we are here to assist with bespoke design consultations and condition reports. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the provenance, the craftsmanship, and the environmental care woven into every stage of these citrines journey, and we invite you to bring this pair into your collection as a piece of Brazil, shaped by earth and hand, and carried forward by a commitment to beauty and responsibility.
