64.32 Ct. Citrine from Brazil

Citrine has long been celebrated across centuries for its warm glow, its cheerful presence in the jewelry of many eras, and its capacity to convey both quiet dignity and radiant energy. From early traders who treasured yellow and orange quartz for amulets, through the carved gems of classical antiquity, to the revival pieces of the Victorian era and the bold statement jewels of the twentieth century, citrine has been a stone of enduring appeal. This particular specimen speaks directly to that tradition, carrying the lineage of the earth and skilled hands into the present day. Sourced from Brazil, a country synonymous with some of the finest citrines ever found, this gem embodies a timeless color and a history that blends natural formation with human artistry. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present a stone that feels both ancient and immediate, a gem that can be worn as a personal talisman or displayed as a testament to the enduring beauty of classic materials.

At 64.32 carats, this pear shaped orange citrine is an impressive presence, with dimensions of 31.36 by 23.94 by 16.46 mm that create a generous canvas for light to travel and play. The mixed brilliant cut chosen for this gem is a deliberate, classical solution to the challenge of showing the maximum vitality of a colored stone. By combining a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a more controlled pavilion geometry, the cutter has balanced sparkle with depth of tone, permitting brilliant surface flashes while also allowing the warm orange body color to remain rich and luminous. The result is a scintillation that dances with every movement, a parade of light and fire that complements the vivid color intensity. With an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level, inclusions do not interrupt the visual drama, and an excellent polish means every facet functions as a mirror, returning light with exceptional fidelity. The gem has been heat treated, a widely practiced enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies the orange hue, and it has been performed to the standards collectors and connoisseurs expect.

Beyond technical excellence, the pear shape carries a long history of symbolic use, often associated with tears of joy, leaves, and the elegant lines favored by classic jewelers. In this large, well cut example, the tapered point and rounded base guide light in a way that emphasizes both movement and poise. Light entering through the broad table is refracted and broken into lively flashes by the numerous crown facets, then reflected from the pavilion facets back through the stone in a way that both brightens and deepens the orange, creating zones of golden clarity and honeyed warmth. The mixed brilliant cut enhances the inherent refractive qualities of citrine, offering a balance between brilliance and color saturation that is especially important in larger stones. Where a purely step cut might emphasize color at the expense of fire, and a fully brilliant cut might scatter the color into too many minute flashes, the mixed approach here creates a harmonious interplay, resulting in a gem that looks alive from every angle.

This citrine is a natural choice for a piece that will become an heirloom, a jewel that recalls classical sensibilities while making a modern statement. Set as a dramatic pendant, a centerpiece of a cocktail ring, or the focal point of a bespoke brooch, its scale and cut invite both grand settings and refined metalwork. The vivid color intensity ensures that it will read beautifully in photographs, while the eye clean clarity and excellent polish guarantee that up close the craftsmanship and natural qualities will continue to reward scrutiny. Whether you value gemstones for their historical resonance, their aesthetic permanence, or their ability to mark a moment in time, this pear shaped orange citrine offers a rare combination of provenance, proportion, and polish. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to consider this stone as the next chapter in a storied collection, a legacy piece that will glow with history for generations to come.
