0.39 Ct. Yellowish Orange Citrine from Brazil

This yellowish orange citrine began its journey in the pegmatite fields of Brazil, where artisanal and small scale operations extract gem rough with a focus on material that exhibits strong color and clarity. From the mine the rough is transported to regional sorting facilities, where experienced graders separate stones by hue, transparency, and potential for cutting. This particular piece was selected for its transparent body tone and vivid color intensity, and transferred to a precision cutting studio where it received a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize light return while preserving weight. The cutter established exact proportions to yield a final weight of 0.39 carat, and dimensions of 5.08 by 5.06 by 2.99 mm, balancing facet symmetry and depth to achieve an excellent polish. A controlled heat treatment was applied to stabilize and enhance the yellowish orange hue, a standard and permanent enhancement for citrine, followed by final inspection under standard viewing conditions to confirm a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating inclusions that are minimal and not expected to affect visual performance to the unaided eye.

Upon completion of cutting and finishing, the stone underwent a sequence of verification steps carried out for The Natural Gemstone Company, including independent measurement, color assessment against reference samples, and documentation of origin and treatment. The mixed brilliant cut yields open faceting that supports strong scintillation, while the excellent polish contributes to consistent light return across the table and crown facets. The combination of 0.39 carat weight, precise 5.08 by 5.06 by 2.99 mm dimensions, vivid color intensity, and the very very slightly included clarity grade makes this citrine well suited for smaller ring settings, delicate pendants, or accent stones in multi gem compositions, where controlled brilliance and stable color are desired. Buyers receive transparent information on provenance and enhancement, along with handling guidance recommending routine gentle cleaning in warm soapy water and avoidance of harsh chemicals or prolonged high heat. The Natural Gemstone Company affirms the documented Brazilian origin, the applied heat treatment, and the measured specifications, and maintains these records to support informed selection by designers, jewelers, and collectors.
