This exceptional natural Citrine weighs 8.339 carats and combines a distinctive hexagonal outline with an unusual concave-style custom cut. Measuring approximately 13.9 × 11.5 × 8.7 mm, the gemstone has substantial presence while retaining an elegant geometric balance that immediately distinguishes it from conventionally faceted Citrine.
Its colour is whisky yellow to honey gold, with warm golden, amber and subtle brownish-orange undertones that change in intensity according to the direction and strength of the light. Brighter illumination reveals vivid golden reflections, while deeper areas develop a richer whisky-like tone that gives the gemstone considerable visual depth.
The custom faceting is one of the defining characteristics of this stone. Curved and elongated internal reflections create a layered optical pattern across the gemstone, producing strong flashes of light and a sense of movement that is rarely encountered in standard brilliant or step cuts. Combined with the uncommon hexagonal outline, this gives the stone a highly individual architectural appearance.
The gemstone shows good transparency, allowing the complex facet structure and internal reflections to remain clearly visible. Its generous depth supports the optical performance of the custom cut and helps create strong contrast between brighter golden areas and deeper amber tones.
No indications of heating have been observed. This is particularly relevant for Citrine, as much of the commercial material encountered on the market originates from heat-treated amethyst or other quartz. The absence of indications of heating allows this specimen to be presented as natural, unheated Citrine, preserving its naturally occurring colour.
With its substantial carat weight, unusual hexagonal geometry, warm whisky-gold colour and sophisticated custom faceting, this is a distinctive collector-quality gemstone that would also lend itself exceptionally well to a bespoke statement jewellery design.
