Citrine (large natural UN-heated stone) (fantasy cut by Brett Kosnar)

Item Description

Here we have an incredibly beautiful and fine quality, large Citrine gem from Brazil with a beautiful, one-of-a-kind fantasy cut. This is a natural Citrine gem with a pale golden yellow color virtually eye-clean clarity. Citrine may be well-known among gem dealers and collectors, but the majority of the material on the market has been treated to enhance or even CREATE the yellow color. This stone is completely natural and un-heated / un-treated, making it all the more desirable for collectors. Citrine gems typically are not seen in this size, considering that this gem is over 90 carats (!), it's very impressive for the material. What makes this stone really special is the fact that it has a "Fantasy" cut. This style of cutting is where the underside/pavilion/culet area of the gem has actually been carved to create beautiful geometric patterns, freeform designs or unique shapes that are seldom seen in any colored stones on the market today. The name of this cut is an "Ezio Templar" cut, and it has a beautiful mixture of bright reflective facets, and soft matte facets, for stunning visual appeal. Truly a museum stone, or a magnificent center stone for a completely unique piece of jewelry, or it would stand alone as a stellar "doorknob" gem to add to your collection.
For reference, the retail price on this stone is $6,363.00 ($70/carat).
This stone was cut by Brett Kosnar, a 4-time AGTA Spectrum Award winning gem cutter.
