28.14 Ct. Yellowish Green Citrine

This exceptional transparent citrine presented by The Natural Gemstone Company weighs 28.14 carat and is fashioned into a refined pear shape, with dimensions of 24.15 x 19.09 x 13.04 mm. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant cut that pairs a faceted pavilion with a brilliant style crown to maximize light return and scintillation while preserving weight and elegant proportions. Color is a yellowish green with intense color intensity, a hue that is rare and sought after among collectors who appreciate the nuance between classic golden citrine and greenish tone quartz. Clarity has been evaluated as eye clean at eye level, meaning the gem shows no inclusions visible to the unaided eye under normal viewing conditions, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and strong surface reflection. No enhancement has been performed, the stone is untreated, and it retains its natural optical character, while the origin of this citrine is unknown and therefore may appeal to buyers who value the gem itself above specific mine provenance.

From a grading and valuation perspective this citrine merits attention from an educated buyer because of its combination of weight, color intensity, and cutting quality. At 28.14 carat the gem occupies a size category where proportion and symmetry become critical to visual performance, and the mixed brilliant cut here is executed to balance brilliance with a vivid light pattern that emphasizes the yellowish green body color. Eye clean clarity at this scale enhances market desirability because it allows the observer to fully appreciate the internal play of light without distraction from visible inclusions. As a member of the quartz family, citrine has a hardness of seven on the Mohs scale which provides good durability for daily wear when set with proper protective settings, and the strong polish and well defined faceting on this stone suggest it will retain its appearance with normal care. For design considerations, a bezel or partial bezel setting can protect the pointed end of the pear shape, while a fine prong setting will allow maximum light interaction for those prioritizing sparkle. Collectors and designers often prize yellow and green tinges in citrine for their unique warmth and modern appeal, and this example exhibits the kind of stable, intense tone that captures light and eye.

Linking this citrine to heritage traditions enhances its story for discerning clients who value provenance and symbolic history. Citrine has been used historically as a talisman of prosperity and abundance, worn by merchants and travelers in various cultures to attract success and protect against adversity, and it has long been associated with sunlight, warmth, and clarity of thought. The yellowish green variation carries those sunlit connotations while adding a subtle nod to fresh growth and renewal, making it appropriate for pieces that celebrate milestones or new beginnings. In paired or mixed gemstone compositions one might consider combining this citrine with a White Opal to create contrast between brilliant faceting and the soft play of opalescence. White Opal offers a luminous background that complements the citrine hue without competing with it, and historically opal has been used in ceremonial and decorative jewelry to signify hope and creativity. At The Natural Gemstone Company we emphasize natural, untreated material, transparent grading terminology, and guidance on care and setting to ensure the gem retains its beauty. We recommend standard gemological evaluation if a formal certificate is required by the buyer, and we advise cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners that could affect mounting or associated materials. This citrine represents an excellent opportunity for collectors and bespoke jewelers seeking a substantial, eye clean, intensely colored yellowish green quartz that honors both the legacy of citrine as a gem of light and prosperity and the practical standards expected by contemporary connoisseurs.
