4.53 Ct. White Opal from Russia

This lemon quartz began its journey deep within the weathered pegmatites of Russia, where pockets of silica and trace elements slowly crystallized over millennia to form this clear and sunny gem. At The Natural Gemstone Company we trace each stone back to its origin, and this 4.53 carat pear shape crystal carries with it the quiet story of its birthplace. Measuring 14.16 x 9.31 x 5.93 mm, this transparent gem reveals its lineage in the way natural growth structures were respected during cutting, preserving the pure citrus hue and the inherent crystalline clarity. There is no enhancement, and the medium intense color intensity is entirely natural, a soft yet vivid yellow that feels alive in changing light. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains exceptional visual purity while bearing the tiny internal signatures of its geological formation, little accents that tell of pressure, time, and place.

The cutter translated the stone from raw crystal to faceted jewel with an eye for geometry and light, employing a mixed brilliant cut that marries precise angular facets with the depth of a pavilion designed to return every photon to the surface. The geometric faceting pattern was mapped to the pear outline to maximize scintillation along the point and flash across the rounded shoulder. Each table and kite and star facet is placed to channel light through the stone, so that when the gem rotates the eye is met with a lively parade of flashes and flashes that give the lemon color its varying intensities. The excellent polish brings a mirror finish to every facet plane, reinforcing facet junctions so that light travels uninterrupted and returns as vibrant sparkle. Because the cutter balanced pavilion depth with crown angles, the result is a lively, yet controlled, dispersion and brilliance that is particularly striking in natural daylight and under warm interior lighting. The slight inclusions noted at eye level do not impede the gemts ability to sparkle, rather they sit discreetly as proof of authenticity and natural origin, a reminder that this gem was born from the earth and hand worked into a refined jewel.

Imagine this pear shaped 4.53 carat lemon quartz set as the central stone of a bespoke ring or pendant, the narrow tip aligning along the finger or neckline to elongate and flatter, while the rounded base offers expansive color play. Its dimensions of 14.16 x 9.31 x 5.93 mm make it an ideal candidate for designs that allow light to enter freely from multiple angles, including open gallery settings and three prong tips that keep the point visible. For a complementary contrast consider pairing it with White Opal accents, the soft milky play of the opal providing a serene backdrop to the lemon quartz brilliance, or use delicate diamonds to rim the pear for a signature halo that intensifies the internal glow. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on mounting, metal choices, and design proportions to ensure the mixed brilliant cut and polished facets are showcased to their fullest. This gem comes to you as a single, unenhanced statement of natural beauty, a piece with provenance and personality ready to be made into an heirloom.
