5.58 Ct. Yellow Citrine from Brazil

This transparent 5.58 carat oval citrine presents exacting proportions, with measurements of 12.52 by 10.51 by 7.82 millimeters, and a calculated depth of about 68 percent relative to the average diameter. The weight to dimension ratio conveys substantial face up presence while preserving the optical performance expected from a well cut gem. The cutting style is faceted, executed in a refined mixed brilliant design that maximizes return of light across the table and crown facets. This gem is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, and it demonstrates the company standard for material selection, cutting accuracy, and documentation of origin and treatment. The piece is unenhanced, originating from Brazil, and it carries an excellent polish that contributes to crisp facet junctions and strong light transmission.

The mixed brilliant cut employed here combines a brilliant facet blueprint on the crown, with kite and triangular facets converging on a well proportioned table, and a modified pavilion that emphasizes broad optical return. The oval outline maintains symmetry between length and width, and the girdle profile preserves evenness to facilitate secure setting without compromising light performance. The faceter focused on proportional crown height and pavilion depth to yield a lively interplay of brilliance and scintillation, compensating for quartz dispersion characteristics. Citrine has a refractive index range near 1.544 to 1.553 and a modest dispersion near 0.013, therefore the cutter has optimized facet angles and polish to extract maximum white light return and localized flashes of color within the stone. The excellent polish ensures minimal surface light scattering, and the facet junctions display tight geometry that promotes a coherent faceted pattern from multiple viewing angles.

Color and clarity present together to elevate the gem to a centerpiece grade. The color intensity is classified as intense, manifesting as a saturated golden yellow with consistent saturation across the crown and pavilion, and a lively face up appearance that reads as warm and energetic in natural daylight. The clarity grade is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, with inclusions that are minor in scale and positioned so they do not interrupt the primary light path or compromise structural integrity. These natural internal characteristics confirm the stone as untreated, and they support confident setting choices where the inclusions remain visually unobtrusive while contributing to natural identity. The origin from Brazil is noted for producing well colored citrine material, and this specimen retains its natural state without irradiation or heat enhancement.

As a design element this 5.58 carat oval citrine is ideally suited to become a centerpiece in any collection, whether set in a solitaire ring, pendant, or a bespoke statement piece. The substantial table and balanced depth yield an arresting face up spread, and the intense coloration will anchor surrounding accent stones in complimentary metal selections. For mounting the cutter recommended orientation considers the oval axis to control bow tie effect, and a four or six prong mounting will secure the gem while keeping the crown accessible to light. For routine maintenance clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid extreme heat exposure and harsh chemical cleaners, and store separately to prevent abrasion.
