111.72 Ct. White Quartz

This exceptional transparent 111.72 carat radiant shape white quartz is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, a piece that commands attention by scale and quality. Measuring 29.38 x 27.46 x 20.36 mm, it is substantial enough to serve as a museum style specimen or a dramatic centerpiece in bespoke jewelry. The cutting style is faceted with a radiant cut profile, which balances trimmed corners with a brilliant facet arrangement to maximize the stone live appearance while preserving carat weight. Color intensity is colorless, clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, polish is excellent, there has been no enhancement, and the origin is unknown. These fundamentals define the stone as a natural, large, and high clarity specimen, attributes that matter to serious collectors and designers alike.

From a gemological perspective the clarity and color characteristics make this quartz unusually appealing. Very very slightly included at eye level signifies that the gem is essentially eye clean to the vast majority of observers, with any inclusions being minute and visible only under careful inspection. In a colorless quartz of this size and with excellent polish, the transparency reads as near pure, yielding neutral optical performance without unwanted body tint. The absence of enhancements confirms that color and clarity are natural, which strengthens provenance and resale perceptions for educated buyers. The radiant cut is particularly well chosen for a stone of this nature, because it combines the scintillation and light return of brilliant facets with the depth retention and geometric strength of step facets, creating a lively face up appearance while protecting the corners during setting. Quartz sits at about seven on the Mohs hardness scale, providing durable serviceability for everyday wear when set appropriately, and the excellent polish reduces surface wear and enhances long term luster.

Light behavior in this radiant white quartz will be attractive and versatile across different lighting environments. In strong daylight and direct sunlight the stone will present bold white flashes, broad facet brightness, and crisp reflections, the radiant cut producing a pattern of scintillating light and dark contrast that reads as lively and luminous rather than overly fiery. Under cooler LED and fluorescent light sources the stone will maintain high white brilliance, with pinfire scintillation from the many small facets producing a lively granular sparkle. Under warm incandescent or halogen light the effect shifts to a warmer white brilliance, with slightly softer flashes and enhanced contrast that can appear more inviting and gemlike at close range. In low light or candlelight the quartz will retain sparkle but will not display the vivid spectral fire seen in higher dispersion stones, because quartz has modest dispersion compared to diamond and certain other gemstones. Instead you will see elegant white sparkle and flash, sometimes punctuated by small scintillation points that capture the eye, a quality that often appeals to buyers who prefer clear optical performance and sophisticated, understated brilliance.

For the educated buyer this specimen offers a combination of size, clarity, and cutting quality that is rare in untreated, colorless quartz. Its large dimensions and carat weight make it suitable for a range of high end uses, including a single dramatic solitaire setting, a collector specimen, or as a centerpiece in a bespoke necklace or display. The unknown origin does not diminish its intrinsic properties, and the lack of enhancement preserves its natural character, which many collectors and connoisseurs prize. Practical considerations for care are straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain the polish, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme thermal shock, and consider secure settings that protect the corners and edges to preserve its integrity. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the authenticity and description of this piece, and we invite inquiries for additional imagery, viewing appointments, or discussion of custom setting options, because a stone of this size and quality benefits from specialist presentation and care.
