0.84 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Yellowish Orange Madeira Citrine Pair from Brazil

This matched pair of Madeira citrines from The Natural Gemstone Company presents as two round mixed brilliant cut stones, weighing 0.43 carats and 0.41 carats respectively, with dimensions 5.03 by 5.03 by 3.11 millimeters and 5.03 by 5.01 by 2.97 millimeters, origin Brazil, enhancement heat treated. The cut is a mixed brilliant, combining a traditional brilliant crown with a faceted pavilion that emphasizes both return of white light and controlled color saturation, the result of precise facet junctions and excellent polish. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, indicating only minute internal characteristics that do not compromise transparency or light transmission. The color is a yellowish orange Madeira tone with intense saturation, and the overall finish is noted as excellent polish, ensuring crisp facet planes, sharp facet intersections, and minimal surface faceting abrasion that could otherwise diffuse reflections.

Technically, the pair shows well proportioned depths, the first stone at approximately 61.8 percent depth relative to diameter, the second at approximately 59.0 percent depth, depths that fall within a range favorable for strong light return in quartz gem material. The mixed brilliant pavilion and carefully balanced crown angles concentrate light toward the viewer, producing a lively scintillation pattern with distinct contrast between bright and dark facet areas. Given quartz refractive indices in the range of approximately 1.54 to 1.55 and relatively low dispersion, these citrines do not produce the high spectral fire seen in higher dispersion gems, however the cutter has leveraged facet geometry and polished facet planes to maximize perceived brilliance and color flash. Heat treatment has been applied to stabilize the intense Madeira hue, producing uniform saturation across facets and enhancing the warm orange top tones under both daylight and incandescent viewing conditions. For the connoisseur seeking a technically strong pair, these citrines offer matched weight, matched diameter, consistent color, and meticulous cutting that work together to deliver exceptional optical performance in small scale jewelry settings, and they are available through The Natural Gemstone Company with our usual standards of gemological verification and hand finishing.
