18.31 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

Deep beneath the weathered outcrops of Brazilian terrain, this citrine began its life as silica rich mineral solutions cooled and crystallized over millions of years, capturing warmth and light in a palette of sunlit yellow. Mined through partnerships that respect local communities and the land, the rough was selected by experienced scouts who understand that ethical sourcing starts at extraction and continues through every step of handling. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace our relationships back to individual miners and cutting houses, and we work to ensure fair compensation, safer working conditions, and minimal environmental disturbance where possible. This story is part of the gem itself, and when you hold this stone you hold the culmination of geological patience and human care, a tangible link from Brazilian earth to a finished jewel.

The transformation from rough to the finished gem you see began with a careful decision to shape it as an emerald cut, a form chosen to celebrate clarity and linear light play. The finished weight is 18.31 carats, and the dimensions are 17.92 by 13.59 by 10.52 millimeters, creating a commanding presence that remains elegant and wearable. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is very very slightly included, and those minor internal characteristics only lend subtle character when the stone moves, they do not detract from the gem’s transparency. The color intensity is vivid, a saturated yellow that reads bright and warm in daylight and under soft evening lighting alike. The polish is excellent, giving each facet precise edges and mirror like surfaces that throw back flashes of light and color. To enhance and stabilize that golden hue this citrine has been heat treated, a longstanding and accepted practice in colored stones, and we disclose this enhancement openly because responsible disclosure is integral to our trust with customers.

For the conscious collector this gemstone offers both aesthetic joy and ethical assurance, a piece that fits into a curated wardrobe of intentional jewelry. It is large enough to serve as a centerpiece in a bespoke ring or a dramatic pendant, yet its classic emerald cut lends a refined geometry that complements minimalist and vintage settings alike. When you acquire a gem from The Natural Gemstone Company you receive provenance information, and we are happy to share details about the mine region, the treatment, and the cutting process so your purchase is transparent and traceable. We present this citrine in sustainable packaging, and we offer guidance on care to preserve its polish and color, recommending gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water, avoidance of harsh chemicals, and professional inspection if mounted in a daily wear setting. If you seek a responsibly sourced statement stone with natural warmth and a clear story, this 18.31 carat Brazilian citrine invites you to make it part of your collection, a luminous reminder that beauty can be chosen with conscience.
