1.02 Ct. Yellowish Orange Citrine from Brazil

This 1.02 carat transparent citrine from Brazil, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is cut in an emerald shape with precise dimensions of 7.07 by 5.01 by 4.09 mm. The cutting is faceted with a checkerboard crown that produces multiple small, planar facets which enhance scintillation, while the step pavilion preserves the clean, architectural lines characteristic of emerald cuts. The stone exhibits an intense yellowish orange hue with a high degree of saturation, and it displays excellent polish with crisp facet junctions. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, which means the gem is effectively eye clean with only minute internal features visible under careful inspection, contributing to strong light return and an even face up appearance. Proportionally the depth is balanced to favor a lively face up color, and technical metrics for citrine such as refractive index near 1.544 to 1.553 and a specific gravity around 2.65 indicate reliable brilliance and weight distribution for precision settings. Hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale, providing good durability for daily wear when set thoughtfully.

The material has undergone standard heat treatment to stabilize and intensify its color, a widely accepted enhancement that is fully disclosed and stable under normal conditions. Ethically sourced from Brazil, this citrine is part of The Natural Gemstone Company curated selection that emphasizes traceability and responsible procurement. Our sourcing partners adhere to documented mining practices, fair labor standards, and local community engagement, and each gem is evaluated for both quality and origin transparency. For the conscious collector, this stone combines technical refinement with ethical provenance, making it suitable as a focal piece in a minimalist solitaire ring or as a warm center for a pendant, where the checkerboard crown will deliver lively scintillation without sacrificing the elegant profile of an emerald cut. Routine care recommendations include avoiding harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to extreme heat, and routine cleaning with mild soap and warm water will maintain the stone's luster. This citrine represents a technically sophisticated, responsibly sourced option for buyers who value both precise craftsmanship and ethical supply chain integrity.
