0.36 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

This exquisite transparent 0.36 carat oval yellowish orange citrine from Brazil offers a combination of attributes that set it apart from the typical stones you find on the market, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it to collectors and connoisseurs. At 6.05 x 3.92 x 2.69 mm the proportions are elegant and well balanced for an oval, and the mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize brilliance and scintillation, producing liveliness that many standard step cuts and mass produced commercial cuts simply cannot match. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which translates to an eye clean appearance in most settings, and the excellent polish enhances light return and surface finish. The medium color intensity of this yellowish orange hue sits in a sweet spot that reads as rich and warm without being overly saturated, giving it broad appeal for both jewelry use and collection purposes. Critically this stone has no enhancement, which in a market dominated by heat treated and artificially induced colors elevates its authenticity and desirability.

When comparing this natural Brazilian citrine to other options available to buyers, several practical advantages become clear. Many citrines on the market today are produced by heat treating amethyst or smoky quartz, creating attractive colors but diminishing rarity and provenance, making them less interesting to collectors who prize natural origin. In contrast this gem is natural and untreated, a characteristic that mirrors the qualities collectors and ethical buyers increasingly demand, and the Brazilian origin carries its own cachet, coming from a region renowned for producing fine colored gemstones. The mixed brilliant faceting not only outperforms many commercial cuts in terms of sparkle, it also enhances perceived size because of the lively brilliance. Compared to similar sized yellow gemstones such as commercial topaz varieties or lower grade sapphires, the clean clarity and superior polish of this citrine deliver a better balance of optical performance and color at a modest investment level. For jewelers seeking a ready to set, eye catching center for a bespoke ring or pendant, this piece offers superior finish and visual impact relative to lower grade, mass market alternatives.

From an investment perspective this stone embodies several of the key factors that influence future appreciation in value, making it an attractive long term purchase for both first time gemstone investors and seasoned collectors. Rarity is a central driver, and natural, untreated citrines with attractive color and excellent cutting are comparatively scarce because a large portion of the market supply comes from treated material. Rarity is compounded by provenance, and Brazilian citrines from reputable sources command more collector interest than anonymous material, especially when accompanied by clear, documented conditions of origin and no enhancements. A premium cut and an eye clean appearance further increase marketability, because high quality faceting and polish translate directly into desirability and ease of sale later on. Market trends over the past decade show growing interest in natural and traceable gemstones, driven by consumers who prioritize authenticity and ethical sourcing, and this has pushed demand higher for stones that can be certified as untreated and responsibly sourced. While no gemstone should be treated as a guaranteed financial instrument, the combination of natural origin, pleasing and distinct color, professional cutting, and excellent polish creates a favorable profile for potential appreciation as collectors shift toward quality over quantity.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize transparency and long term value, and this 0.36 carat yellowish orange citrine fits the strategy of acquiring stones that combine aesthetic appeal with attributes that support future appreciation. For a collector wanting an attractive, responsibly sourced example of natural citrine that stands above heat treated material, or for a jeweler looking for a small but superior center stone that will carry its appearance and desirability forward, this gem represents a compelling option. We can provide additional images, documentation of origin, and guidance on setting and care to help preserve the stone for years to come, and we invite serious buyers to consider how a well chosen, natural piece like this can enhance both a collection and a portfolio over time.
