From the heart of Brazil, where sunlit veins of quartz run through ancient rock, this 2.33 carat pear shape citrine began as a rough crystal warmed by the earth. Miners working in that storied region carefully selected the clean, transparent rough, recognizing the orangish yellow glow that promised life in the gem. At The Natural Gemstone Company we respect that journey, and we honor the stone by documenting its transformation. After extraction the gem was gently heat treated to enhance and stabilize its inviting medium color intensity, then sent to master cutters. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to maximize the lively play of light within the 11.56 by 7.84 by 5.27 millimeter form, carving each facet to achieve an eye clean clarity when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that lets the color and brilliance speak plainly. This citrine carries not only physical beauty, but a narrative of place, craft, and refinement that connects wearer and origin through time.
As a variety of quartz, this citrine has a Mohs hardness of 7, making it a durable choice for many types of jewelry, more resistant to scratching than softer gems such as opal and turquoise, but less hard than corundum varieties and diamond. That balance of toughness and warmth means it can be enjoyed in rings, pendants, and everyday pieces when worn with basic care, avoiding hard impacts and extreme abrasives. The pear shape offers versatility and a flattering silhouette, while the mixed brilliant cut enhances sparkle without sacrificing the gem s natural transparency. For those drawn to stones with cultural resonance, citrine has long been associated with sunshine and abundance in many traditions, and this Brazilian example embodies that optimistic spirit. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the authenticity and beauty of each gem we offer, and this heat treated, eye clean, orangish yellow citrine is presented with full disclosure of its origin and enhancement. If you seek a gem that tells a story from mine to market, and that combines practical durability with luminous warmth, this 2.33 carat pear citrine is a compelling choice.
