5.26 Ct. Yellow Citrine from Brazil

This transparent round yellow citrine weighs 5.26 carats, and measures 11.30 by 11.20 by 8.12 millimeters, making it an exceptional size for a single center gem. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, designed to balance scintillation and depth of color. The clarity grade is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means that under normal viewing the stone shows no visible inclusions, an important attribute for the educated buyer seeking clean, wearable gemstones. Color intensity is described as intense, a saturation that offers vivid yellow warmth without appearing artificial, and the polish is excellent, ensuring maximal light return from every facet. The stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement for citrines that converts lower value amethyst or smoky quartz into the desirable golden hue, and this treatment is both permanent and industry standard. Origin is Brazil, a source known for producing high quality citrines with consistent color and clarity, and the combination of size, cut, clarity, and finish places this gem in a category favored by collectors and discerning jewelers.

The journey of this citrine from mine to market reflects careful selection and skilled craftsmanship, a narrative that adds to its value. Extracted from Brazilian deposits, the rough was hand selected for clarity and color potential at the source, then transported to experienced cutters who employed the mixed brilliant cut to optimize both brilliance and color saturation. During cutting and polishing, strict quality controls ensured the final dimensions of 11.30 by 11.20 by 8.12 millimeters and an excellent polish, while gemological inspection confirmed the eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level and verified the heat treatment.
