26.20 Ct. Quartz from Madagascar

This offering from The Natural Gemstone Company is a transparent lemon quartz, 26.20 carats, presented in an elegant oval shape with dimensions of 21.88 by 17.97 by 11.41 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style. The mixed brilliant faceting combines pavilion and crown facet arrangements to optimize light return and dispersion, producing lively scintillation across the table and along the girdle. The color is medium intense lemon, a balanced yellow that reads fresh and vivid in varied lighting, and the stone carries a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning minor internal features are present but do not materially detract from transparency or brilliance. The polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement, the material originating from Madagascar.

The cutter has respected both optical performance and weight retention, producing well defined facets and symmetrical outlines that emphasize the stone surface and internal clarity. The mixed brilliant cut creates a dynamic interplay of light, while the substantial depth of 11.41 millimeters supports a strong pavilion, yielding depth of color and avoidance of windowing. The very slightly included clarity grade suggests that under loupe or microscope minor inclusions are observable, however at normal viewing distances the gem reads clean and vibrant. The absence of any enhancement preserves the natural character of the quartz, and the Madagascar origin is indicative of known deposits that yield high quality lemon colored material.

Owning this lemon quartz represents an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, due to its combination of size, natural color, and fine cutting. A 26.20 carat transparent stone of this hue and cut is suitable as a centerpiece in bespoke jewelry, where the proportions and polish will withstand careful wear and maintain optical performance over time. As a natural, untreated gem, it carries intrinsic appeal for collectors and designers who value provenance and integrity. Proper setting and routine care will preserve its finish, simple cleaning with mild detergent and soft brush and avoidance of harsh chemicals will protect polish. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as a material example of thoughtful lapidary work and natural beauty, offering both immediate aesthetic impact and lasting appeal for future use or inclusion in a curated collection.
