This luminous yellow citrine from Madagascar arrives at 2.24 carats, oval shape, with dimensions 10.82 x 7.70 x 5.12 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Its faint color intensity and excellent polish give it a refined, wearable tone that is more versatile than the deep orange stones commonly found on the market, and its natural state with no enhancement sets it apart from many mass produced citrines that receive heat treatment. Compared with standard commercial material, this gem offers a subtle elegance that suits both classic and modern settings, while the mixed brilliant cut increases scintillation and face up brightness compared with simpler cuts, making the most of the stone's transparency and internal features. At this weight and proportion the stone reads larger than many citrines in similar price brackets, delivering premium visual presence and lasting value, and because it is untreated and originates in Madagascar, it appeals to clients who prioritize natural origin and authenticity.
The journey of this citrine begins with careful selection in Madagascar, where experienced hands identified a crystal with clean color and strong cutting potential. The rough was responsibly handled and sent to a skilled lapidary who chose a mixed brilliant scheme to maximize light return and preserve weight, cutting each facet with attention to balance and symmetry, followed by an exacting polish to achieve the excellent surface finish you see. After cutting the gem was rigorously examined and graded, photographed for accurate representation, and brought to market by The Natural Gemstone Company, where we present it as an uncommon untreated example in a market crowded with altered and heavily saturated stones. For buyers seeking a natural, well cut citrine that combines clarity, subtle color, and superior polish, this gem offers better value and a more versatile aesthetic than many alternatives, making it an ideal choice for a signature ring or a timeless pendant.
