0.23 Ct. Yellowish Orange Madeira Citrine from Brazil

A rare treasure awaits the discerning collector, a transparent 0.23 carat round shape yellowish orange Madeira citrine that commands attention with its warm, honeyed glow. Expertly faceted in a mixed brilliant cut, this gem measures 4.16 x 4.12 x 2.73 mm and reflects light with an assured sparkle, courtesy of an excellent polish that brings every facet to life. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity is graded as very very slightly included, a subtle signature of natural formation that does nothing to diminish its luminous presence and instead affirms its authenticity. Sourced from the storied deposits of Brazil, and thoughtfully heat treated to enhance its deep, intense color intensity, this Madeira citrine arrives to you as a finished jewel ready to be set into a one of a kind design, a piece that will distinguish its owner as part of an elite circle who appreciates provenance and refinement.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate only the most exceptional stones, and this example exemplifies our commitment to rarity and uncompromising quality. Pieces of this size and color are seldom found with such saturated tones and such precise cutting, making each stone a near bespoke offering for custom commissions or a singular accent in delicate fine jewelry. Imagine this gem as the sole accent on a slender gold ring, an intimate pendant that sits close to the heart, or a refined pair of stud earrings that catch the light with every movement, each setting amplifying the citrine s natural fire. Owning this citrine is an invitation to exclusive design, it is a statement that you favor stones with character, with traceable origins, and with the kind of beauty that does not need to shout to be admired. Availability is intentionally limited, each gem moved through our atelier with care, enabling you to own an object that is both rare and responsibly handled, a genuine heirloom in miniature.

Durability is an essential consideration for any gemstone chosen to adorn everyday life, and on the Mohs scale this Madeira citrine registers at 7, reflecting its quartz family heritage and offering a dependable resistance to scratches and wear. To put this in perspective, diamond scores 10 on the Mohs scale, sapphire and ruby score 9, and topaz scores 8, which means this citrine is more resilient than many delicate stones, and suitable for regular wear, yet it is still softer than corundum and diamond and benefits from protective settings for ring designs that see heavy use. The heat treatment applied to enhance the color is a stable and widely accepted enhancement, and it does not adversely affect the stone s everyday performance, though we recommend avoiding repeated exposure to sharp impacts and extreme temperature changes to preserve its finish. For cleaning, gentle warm soapy water and a soft brush are ideal, and professional inspection when resizing or resetting will ensure the mount complements the gem s durability. This Madeira citrine, with its intense hue, small but perfect footprint, and the assurance of provenance from Brazil, is not only a jewel to admire, it is a wearable emblem of exclusivity offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, a chance to claim a gemstone that is as rare as it is enduring.
