0.24 Ct. Orangish Yellow Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.24 carat round orangish yellow citrine presents precise dimensions of 4.06 x 4.05 x 2.85 mm, cut in a faceted, mixed brilliant style, originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The stone displays intense color intensity with an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that yields crisp facet junctions and smooth facet planes. This citrine has undergone no enhancement, preserving its natural hue and internal characteristics. The round outline and careful faceting deliver a balanced face up presence, suitable for minimal, refined jewelry settings where the gem itself is the focal point.

The mixed brilliant cut employed on this gem intentionally combines brilliant style facets with modified pavilion geometry to optimize light performance, the crown facets disperse incoming light into vivid flashes while the pavilion facets return and redirect that light to the viewer, creating a dynamic interplay of brilliance and scintillation. Because the stone is eye clean, light travels through uninterrupted by visible inclusions, allowing the intense orangish yellow tone to saturate the face up view rather than be obscured by cloudiness. The excellent polish enhances mirror like reflections from each facet, increasing contrast between bright flashes and deeper color zones, which accentuates both sparkle and perceived depth. In practice this results in lively facet play at movement, a concentrated color face up under direct light, and controlled flashes of spectral dispersion under varied lighting conditions. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this citrine as a carefully prepared natural specimen, where proportionate cutting, superior polish, and a clean interior work together to maximize the gem’s inherent optical properties, delivering a small but resolutely vibrant stone that performs well in delicate rings and refined pendant designs.
