This transparent 2.43 carat orange citrine presents a vivid color intensity and a refined fancy shape with dimensions of 7.33 x 12.58 x 5.49 mm. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining step and brilliant facets to balance depth of color with lively scintillation, and it has an excellent polish that produces crisp facet junctions and bright reflection. Clarity is graded eye clean, evaluated at eye level, indicating no inclusions are visible to the unaided eye, and the specimen has been heat treated to enhance its color. The origin of this citrine is unknown, and this description is provided by The Natural Gemstone Company.
Although classified as eye clean, this citrine retains intrinsic internal characteristics that serve as natural identifiers and add to the stones individuality. Under magnification, minute internal features such as tiny pinpoint crystals, subtle growth zoning, and minute healed fissures may be present, appearing as fine lines or tiny reflective points within the crystal lattice. These microscopic features act as a fingerprint that documents the stones formation history, and they can aid gemological analysis even when they do not affect visual appeal. The heat treatment applied to this piece may have modified color distribution and altered the visibility of some internal features, while leaving the underlying natural structure intact, which contributes to the gems authenticity and character.
The gems proportions and mixed brilliant faceting make it well suited for both a refined ring setting and an elegant pendant, where its elongated fancy outline will present color and brilliance face up. Given its excellent polish and vivid orange hue, the stone will display strong fire and lively refraction under typical lighting conditions. Care recommendations include routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, gentle handling to avoid hard knocks against metal or other gemstones, and avoidance of extreme thermal shock and aggressive chemicals, since these can affect appearance or treated color stability. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this detailed description to assist in selection and to document the gems notable attributes and natural identifiers.
