4.33 Ct. Orangish Yellow Citrine from Brazil

This listing features one beautiful transparent 4.33 carat emerald cut orangish yellow citrine, with precise dimensions of 11.19 x 9.42 x 5.67 mm, cut in a classic faceted emerald shape to emphasize color and step like light play. The stone displays an intense color intensity that reads as a warm orangish yellow in daylight, and maintains superb evenness across the crown and pavilion, making it a striking focal gem for a bespoke ring or pendant. Clarity is graded as eye clean at normal viewing distance, so the table and step facets present broad, clear planes that allow the deep golden body color to show without visible inclusions. Polish is excellent, providing crisp facet junctions that reflect light efficiently and give the gem a lucid, glassy finish. No enhancement has been applied to this crystal, and its natural origin in Brazil contributes to its appeal, as Brazilian deposits are known for producing richly colored quartz varieties with stable, durable color.

From a gemological perspective this citrine sits comfortably within the quartz family, with characteristic physical properties that make it both attractive and practical for daily wear. It measures 4.33 carat, a weight that balances presence with wearable proportions for many jewelry designs, and the emerald cut accentuates its table and depth for an elegant, architectural look. The eye clean clarity grade indicates that at typical viewing distances the stone presents no observable internal features, which is important to collectors and designers who prize a clean visual field in step cut stones. The fact that this gem is natural and untreated is significant, because a large portion of citrine on the market is the product of heat treated amethyst or smoky quartz. Untreated citrine with intense natural color is uncommon, and that rarity increases desirability among educated buyers who evaluate provenance and enhancement status as part of long term value. The hardness of quartz around 7 on the Mohs scale makes citrine resistant to everyday wear, while the stable chemistry ensures color permanence under normal conditions.

Citrine has a long cultural heritage, and its warm golden tones have been linked historically to notions of sunlight, abundance, and protection in many traditions. In ancient times and through the Middle Ages this gem and related yellow quartz varieties were used as amulets and set as seal stones, prized for their clarity and warm hue. The emerald cut used here echoes vintage and Art Deco styling, recalling a period when step cuts were favored for their elegant geometry and ability to showcase color rather than brilliance alone. For the discerning buyer The Natural Gemstone Company presents this Brazilian citrine as a gem that unites classical heritage with modern gemological standards, making it suitable for investment quality jewelry and for collectors who appreciate untreated provenance. We source responsibly, and we are prepared to provide additional documentation or independent laboratory assessment on request, to support the gemological attributes described and to ensure confidence in acquisition. If you prefer a custom mounting recommendation, we can advise on settings that highlight the emerald cut and protect the girdle while maximizing the visible color and presence of the stone.
