This is a very lovely oval citrine that weighs 4.08cts and measures 11.87 x 9.91 x 6.53mm deep. This is a natural citrine! It has been treated with heat only- no other treatments like chemical diffusion, dye, or filled fissures. It was mined in Brazil.
This is not hydrothermal synthetic that is most common in the market. This is a natural, mined stone that grew in the earth. We never, ever sell synthetic stones as natural. We always disclose treatments. These are very important issues for informed colored gemstone consumers.
We guarantee your satisfaction on every gemstone that you buy from us. We can do this very easily because we live and work in a colored gemstone cutting center. There are very large amounts of stones available to us and my wife Melanie and I sort through parcel after parcel, day after day in the hunt for the "Miss America" stones. That is how the Thai gemstone dealers mock you when you choose the beautiful stones and leave them the junk: "Oh, falang (white foreigner) only want Miss America! Leave me junk to sell!" It can be very comical. But yes, we only want Miss America. That is all you want to buy so that is what we choose.
This is a very clean stone with a VVS clarity rating- meaning it is "very very slightly included." The inclusions are tiny and hard to see, and there are not many of them. This is the highest rating that is given to colored gemstones according to GIA. Diamonds also have two grades above this- FL, and IF. Flawless, and Internally Flawless. But neither of these grades applies to colored gemstones.
Bidding starts at 4BTC and the increment is .25BTC. Good luck!
