10.83 Ct. White Opal from Russia

This singular lemon quartz commands attention from the moment the eye beholds its cool, crystalline heart, a rare offering from The Natural Gemstone Company reserved for discerning collectors and designers who seek something genuinely unique. We present one transparent round lemon quartz weighing 10.83 carats, whose measurements of 14.84 x 14.75 x 9.11 mm give it a substantial presence that sits perfectly on the finger as an impressive solitaire, or as a focal stone within a bespoke pendant. Its medium color intensity is an elegant lemon tone that reads as both modern and timeless, a soft sunny hue that flatters a wide range of precious metals, from warm 18 karat gold to cool platinum, ensuring versatility for custom creations. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean and open to the viewer, while the natural inclusions that do exist serve as minute signatures of origin rather than distractions, adding character and confirming the gem is untouched by treatments.

The cutting is where this quartz truly distinguishes itself, every facet calibrated to amplify light and to reveal a depth beyond the surface. This piece is fashioned in a round shape with a mixed brilliant cut, combining the scintillating crown facet pattern of a brilliant with the deep pavilion architecture of a step influenced design, the result being a geometry that sends light on an energetic journey within the stone. The crown facets act as lantern windows, admitting beams of light that break into spectral flashes as they meet the pavilion facets, while the pavilion facets are cut to precise angles that return these beams with maximum brilliance and controlled dispersion. The effect is a lively interplay of flashes and flashes within flashes, a bow of brightness at certain tilts, and a star like focal scintillation that appears to pulse as the stone moves. The polish is excellent, giving every facet edge a mirror finish that allows light to travel without obstruction, ensuring that each facet junction contributes to a cohesive pattern of reflection. This geometric faceting strategy creates optical depth, making the lemon quartz appear larger than its measurements might suggest, and invites prolonged visual engagement from every angle.

Provenance and treatment status are central to exclusivity, and this crystal is offered untreated, a natural stone with no enhancement, sourced from Russia, a locality known for producing quartz of exceptional clarity and character. For those who appreciate complementary pairings, we also note opal type, White Opal, which can be artistically combined with this lemon quartz in a matched suite for collectors seeking contrast and harmony in a single commission, the luminous fire of a White Opal juxtaposed against the lemon quartz will produce a conversation between soft iridescence and precise geometric brilliance that is simply irresistible. Owning a stone like this is to own a piece of geological history, a specimen that carries the fingerprint of its origin and the hand of a master cutter. At The Natural Gemstone Company we limit the availability of such select stones, curating single pieces for clients who desire rarity, and providing personalized guidance to integrate the gem into a setting that highlights its individual personality, whether that is a minimalist bezel to show off its symmetry, a halo of fine pavé to enhance perceived size, or a custom three stone design that pairs it with accent White Opals for a bespoke juxtaposition.

This lemon quartz is offered to a small number of clients who value provenance, craftsmanship, and lasting beauty, if you seek exclusivity and an exceptional centerpiece for a signature piece, this gem warrants personal consultation. We welcome inquiries about bespoke settings, matching White Opals, and detailed photographs or video to evaluate how its light play changes under different lighting conditions, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company can assist with metal recommendations, setting profiles, and secure logistics for clients commissioning high end pieces.
