10.93 Ct. Yellowish Orange Citrine from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You are invited to consider an extraordinarily rare offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, a transparent, asscher octagon citrine of exceptional presence and character, weighing 10.93 carats, with dimensions of 12.47 x 12.15 x 10.43 mm. This stone was faceted in the classic asscher style, with stepped pavilion and broad, elegant facets that create a geometric gallery of light, and it presents an intense yellowish orange hue that is both vibrant and sophisticated. The clarity grade reads very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the excellent polish enhances every facet junction so that light moves through the gem with assured confidence. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the material has been heat treated to stabilize and amplify its naturally warm color. Pieces of this quality and scale are seldom available, and when you secure a gem like this you join a small circle of collectors and connoisseurs who know how to recognize beauty that is authentic and enduring.

Under sunlight this asscher citrine performs like a perfected jewel of sunlight itself, offering a warm field of golden orange that shifts from honey to amber as the stone is tilted, the stepped facets creating a hall of mirrors effect that returns broad flashes of color and depth. In crisp daylight under an overcast sky the color reads a little softer and more urbane, a luminous tea like glow that reveals the stone’s inner transparency and excellent clarity, while subtle flashes of peach and lemon appear along the facet edges. Under modern LED lighting the citrine shows lively color saturation and pronounced facet contrast, the precise cut producing brisk scintillation and a crystalline flash at each movement. In warm incandescent light and candlelight the gem grows more intimate, the orange notes deepening to rich topaz like warmth, the facets offering wider, more velvety flashes so that the gem reads as a jewel of evening distinction. Even at low light the asscher geometry allows internal reflections to play, giving the stone presence and a sense of depth that is almost architectural, making it ideal for a signature ring or pendant intended to be noticed when the room quiets. The heat treatment has been done to enhance color uniformity rather than to manufacture character, so what you see under each light source is a believable and natural brilliance that will reward the wearer with nuance rather than artifice.

Owning this particular citrine from The Natural Gemstone Company is to claim a piece of rarity and skilled workmanship, it is a stone that begs to be set in a bespoke design that honors its scale and step cut, perhaps in a solitaire ring that allows the asscher facets to breathe, or in a pendant that centers the gem as a modern heirloom. The transparency and very very slightly included clarity permit confident bezel or prong settings, while the intense color plays beautifully against warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold or rose gold, and also offers compelling contrast with platinum in contemporary settings. Our team is ready to assist in bespoke mounting options, from minimal modern settings that showcase the geometry to more elaborate designs that frame the stone as a central artistic statement, and we will provide guidance on proportions so that the 12.47 x 12.15 x 10.43 mm dimensions translate into wearability and comfort. This citrine is not a mass produced commodity, it is a singular gemstone that carries provenance, meticulous cutting, and a finish that catches and returns light in a way few stones can, and availability is limited. To secure such a gem is to join an elite group of patrons who collect with intention, and when you choose this citrine you are choosing distinction, craftsmanship, and a tactile connection to a rare natural beauty curated by The Natural Gemstone Company.
