10.15 Ct. Orange Citrine from Brazil

This 10.15 carat orange citrine begins its documented journey in the pegmatite fields of Brazil, where selective artisanal and small scale operations recover crystal rough. The specimen chosen for cutting displayed favorable crystal habit and saturation, prompting careful selection for a faceted asscher octagon presentation. The finished gemstone measures 12.36 x 12.18 x 10.35 mm, exhibiting the characteristic stepped pavilion and trimmed corners of an asscher interpretation, optimized to retain weight while maximizing light return. The color registers as intense orange, achieved and stabilized through a controlled heat treatment enhancement, a standard and disclosed practice that refines tone and saturation without compromising structural integrity.

At the cutting studio the rough underwent precision planning and faceting to achieve an asscher cut with excellent polish and facet symmetry. The clarity was evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, inclusions that do not materially affect transparency or visual appeal when set. The polish grade was assessed as excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and strong lustre across the table and crown facets. Quality control and final grading were performed by our team, documenting carat weight, exact dimensions, cut style, clarity grade, color intensity, and enhancement history prior to arrival at The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone arrives ready for use in fine jewelry design, suitable for settings that emphasize the asscher geometry and the warm, intense orange hue, and accompanied by provenance and treatment disclosure for informed selection by gemologists and designers.
