Compared with its peers in the warm colored stone family, this citrine offers a unique combination of reflective behavior and emotional appeal, as a member of the quartz family it has a vitreous luster and offers lively brilliance, however it displays less dispersion than high fire gems such as topaz or garnet, that means it favors broad vivid flashes of golden light rather than a rainbow of spectral fire, when compared to yellow topaz this citrine presents a softer, sun soaked glow rather than topaz cool clarity and sharper fire, when compared to yellow sapphire the citrine will show less sharp brilliance because sapphires possess a higher refractive index, yet this citrine wins hearts with its warm chroma and generous size, within the category of citrines this stone stands out for intensity of color, exceptional transparency, and the precision of its mixed brilliant faceting, many citrines on the market can appear washed or pale, or show small inclusions that dull their sparkle, this Brazilian gem instead returns crisp, lively reflections with no windowing, the polish and cut work together to maximize face up brilliance so that even subtle movements create a shimmering display.
