3.72 Ct. Quartz from Madagascar

This transparent 3.72 carat yellow quartz from Madagascar offered by The Natural Gemstone Company stands apart from common citrine and mass market quartz by combining a rare asscher octagon shape with precise dimensions of 8.51 x 8.50 x 6.33 mm, excellent polish, and a considered heat treated enhancement to bring out a soft, light color intensity. Compared with similar weight stones, this asscher cut delivers a crisp, geometric elegance that step cutting brings to more expensive gems like yellow sapphire or heliodor, yet at a fraction of the price, making it a superior value for designers and collectors seeking classic architecture and optical clarity. The clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means you get a stone that reads clean to the viewer while retaining natural character, a balance many synthetics and lower grade pieces cannot match. The Natural Gemstone Company sources this piece from Madagascar, known for producing high quality quartz, and the provenance adds collectible appeal over anonymous, unclear origins often found in the market.

Under different lighting conditions this asscher octagon reveals its versatility and refinement. In strong daylight the step facets act like a miniature hall of mirrors, producing crisp planes of reflected light and a cool, luminous face up appearance that emphasizes the pale golden hue. Under warm incandescent or candlelight the heat treated yellow tones deepen slightly, showing a gentle honey wash without becoming overly saturated, which distinguishes it from cheaper stones that can look flat or overly orange by artificial light. Under modern LED lighting the excellent polish enhances contrast between the pavilion and crown, creating lively flashes along the octagon facets that read almost like a faintly scintillating pattern, while in softer indoor lighting the stone offers a subtle, elegant glow that flatters jewelry settings. Compared to other market options this gem combines superior cut quality, a meaningful carat weight for quartz, and dependable eye clean clarity, making it an exceptional choice for a signature ring or pendant, and a smart, stylish purchase from The Natural Gemstone Company.
