20.96 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

A singular example of nature refined by expert hands, this transparent 20.96 carat emerald cut yellow citrine measures 17.71 by 14.60 by 11.91 millimeters, and arrives as a statement of cultivated taste and quiet authority. Cut in a classic emerald silhouette, the stone displays crisp step facets and broad planar surfaces that allow its intense golden color to breathe and unfold with every movement. Its clarity grade is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to the gem cutter who chose to honour the stone rather than conceal it. Fully natural and free from enhancement, and born in the storied deposits of Brazil, this citrine carries provenance and purity in equal measure. The polish is excellent, the symmetry attentive, and the overall presence of the gem suggests a rare combination of scale and refinement that only a few collectors will command.

What makes this citrine truly unforgettable are the delicate, internal signatures that reveal themselves like private notes written into the heart of the crystal. Within the pavilion and facets lie whisper fine feathers and micro veils that sit like satin folds just beneath the surface, catching light and lending a subtle depth to the body tone. Scattered pinpoints and minute crystalline specks glint like distant stars when viewed from certain angles, creating a gentle scintillation that harmonizes with the gem brightness rather than distracting from it. These natural inclusions are not blemishes. They are the fingerprint of geological time, tiny narratives of pressure, heat, and fluid movement that give this gem its unmistakable personality. In some facets you may notice faint linear growth patterns that run in parallel lanes, a reminder of the crystal system that shaped this stone. The broad emerald table frames these internal features like a miniature gallery, turning each viewing into an intimate encounter with a living, breathing piece of the Earth.

For the connoisseur who understands that rarity is not only about size, but also about character, this citrine represents an opportunity to own a gem that reads as both jewel and heirloom. An emerald cut of this scale and colour thrives in designs that allow light to pass through and celebrate the integrity of the crystal, therefore settings that place the stone at the centre of attention yield the most eloquent results. Whether destined for a bespoke signet, a cocktail ring, or a bespoke pendant, the gem will reward considered metalwork and a setting philosophy that prefers restraint to spectacle.
