7.45 Ct. Orangish Yellow Citrine from Brazil

This exceptional transparent citrine presents as a 7.45 carat asscher octagon, with precise dimensions of 11.42 x 11.01 x 8.20 mm, faceted to exacting standards and originating from Brazil. The cutting style is a classic Asscher, defined by concentric square step facets and truncated corners that produce a strong architectural silhouette. The cutter has employed a deliberate crown height and pavilion depth relationship to maximize internal reflections while preserving the stone symmetry, and the overall polish is graded excellent, yielding crisply defined facet junctions and mirror like facet planes. Enhancement by controlled heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and intensify the orangish yellow hue, and the stone sits within the quartz family, delivering dependable durability for a gemstone of this character. The very very slightly included clarity grade as evaluated at eye level indicates inclusions are minimal and do not interrupt the clarity windows created by the step cutting, allowing the asscher geometry to perform without distraction.

Technically, the Asscher cut emphasizes broad, planar flashes rather than scintillating pinfire, and this citrine responds with the hallmark hall of mirrors effect that collectors seek. The intense color intensity manifests as rich orangish yellow saturation uniformly distributed across the table and step facets, with subtle zonal variation that becomes an asset under controlled lighting, providing depth and visual complexity. Quartz refractive indices are modest relative to high dispersion gemstones, therefore color and facet architecture govern the visual impact, and you will notice broad color planes and contrast between light and dark areas rather than dispersion based fire. The cutter has balanced table size and step facet angles to favor strong light return and layered reflections, creating a consistent face up brilliance. The very very slightly included clarity grade confirms that inclusions are either minute or positioned near facet junctions, rendering them practically invisible in typical top view inspection, and the excellent polish ensures those inclusions do not generate surface disturbance.

From a craftsmanship standpoint, this citrine exemplifies disciplined facet execution and proportion control, translating to a centerpiece quality specimen for rings and pendants where the octagonal Asscher silhouette commands attention. The girdle finishing is even, facet edges are true, and facet alignment is tight, all of which make setting straightforward for precision mounting and minimal pre setting adjustment. For jewelry design considerations, the stone’s dimensions allow for secure four or eight prong settings or a bezel that celebrates the octagon geometry, and the stable heat treatment applied at source is a standard practice to produce the desired orangish yellow tone while maintaining long term color stability. At The Natural Gemstone Company we document provenance and handling, and we present this citrine with measured dimensions and a transparent description of enhancements so you can evaluate it with confidence. For collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize cut quality, color intensity, and meticulous finishing, this 7.45 carat Asscher citrine stands as an exemplary focal gem, engineered to sit at the center of a collection or to function as an arresting centerpiece in bespoke jewelry.
