12.59 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

This cushion shaped citrine presents a precise balance of size and presence, weighing 12.59 carats, and measuring 12.88 by 12.34 by 11.33 millimeters. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes return of light across its pavilion and crown, while the excellent polish provides crisp facet junctions and a reflective finish. The stone displays an intense yellowish orange hue that is evenly distributed throughout the body of the gem, and clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, allowing bright, clean appearance to the unaided eye. There has been no enhancement, and the gem is a natural Brazilian material, qualities that support its authenticity and long term color stability. These specific attributes create a gem that reads as simultaneously bold and refined, suitable for pieces in which the stone remains the primary visual focus.

Over the years the natural beauty of this citrine will continue to captivate, due to both intrinsic material properties and the quality of its cutting and finishing. As a variety of quartz, citrine has a suitable hardness for regular wear, and the careful mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish help preserve its optical performance through daily use. The absence of enhancement contributes to predictable aging characteristics, as the color and clarity reflect the material in its natural state rather than induced treatments. With routine care that avoids harsh abrasives and prolonged exposure to extreme heat or chemicals, the stone will retain its vibrant color and polished surface. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this citrine as an example of a natural gem intended to perform and endure, providing a consistent visual appeal as settings and fashions evolve. Over time the stone will develop a history tied to its wearer, while maintaining the intense color, clarity, and reflective qualities that define its initial impression.
