0.48 Ct. Madeira (Reddish Orange) Citrine from Brazil

One beautiful transparent 0.48 carat round shape madeira citrine from Brazil, with dimensions 5.03 x 5.04 x 3.63 mm, mixed brilliant cut, vivid color intensity, clarity grade very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, excellent polish, enhancement heat treated, arrives as a singular statement of rarity and refinement from The Natural Gemstone Company. This alone makes it a compelling choice for collectors and connoisseurs who seek something truly different, because the combination of intense reddish orange hue and exceptional clarity at this size is not commonly encountered in the market. The mixed brilliant faceting has been executed to capture and concentrate the warm, ember like tones while preserving scintillation and life, and the polish has been completed to the highest standard so that every facet edge reads clean and precise. At 0.48 carat this round madeira citrine sits at a sweet spot that allows for flexible design choices, from bespoke fine jewelry to an intimate collector piece, and its modest footprint belies the visual presence imparted by its saturated color and expert cutting.

Rarity is the defining characteristic of this gemstone, and it is rare in two distinct ways, by color and by size class. True madeira citrine in a vivid reddish orange is a niche within a niche, colors of this warmth and depth typically occur less frequently than the more common golden yellow trade stones, and when they do appear they are often either very small or much larger but less intensely colored. Finding a stone the precise size of 5.03 x 5.04 x 3.63 mm with a vivid color intensity and a clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level is uncommon, especially with such an even tone throughout the pavilion and crown. Many comparable stones in the market may show strong color zoning, muted tones, or more visible inclusions, while others achieve color at the expense of clarity. This gem achieves a harmonious balance, offering a saturated madeira red orange that remains transparent and lively, and that balance is what elevates it above ordinary citrine choices. For designers and collectors seeking a focal point that reads rich and warm without overpowering a setting, this stone offers that rare equilibrium, making it a standout selection among similar options.

Owning this citrine means joining an elite group of custodians who appreciate scarcity and craftsmanship, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this as a rare opportunity rather than a routine listing. We curate our selection to include pieces that are distinct by virtue of their natural characteristics and the care applied to their finishing, and this stone is offered with full transparency about its enhancement and origin, heat treated and responsibly sourced from Brazil. Because pieces of this caliber and color frequency enter the marketplace only sporadically, availability is inherently limited, and acquisition is often a decision for those who recognize that true rarity is not reproduced by fashion trends, but preserved in careful procurement and thoughtful setting. When you choose this madeira citrine you join a small number of owners worldwide who can boast of possessing a stone that combines vivid tonal quality, commendable clarity, and precise cutting in a refined 0.48 carat package. For bespoke mounting, custom design consultation, or provenance documentation from The Natural Gemstone Company, our team stands ready to assist, guiding you through the creation of a piece that will be treasured for its rarity and its quiet, confident beauty.
