Natural Citrine 12.11ct VS Cushion Cut

This large cushion offers a notably deep, richly toned amber color that sits at the darker end of the citrine range. The body color is a warm cognac-amber with rich brown undertones, reminiscent of aged whiskey in direct light. The broad crown facets show good contrast between light and shadow, and the deep overall saturation gives the stone a solid, substantive presence. VS clarity means the interior is clean to the eye, with only minor natural inclusions consistent with the grade.

From Brazil, the dominant source of natural citrine. This stone is untreated, its deep cognac-amber tone a natural result of the quartz chemistry at this origin. At 15.8x12.5mm and 12.11ct in a cushion shape, this is a bold stone well suited to a statement cocktail ring or pendant where the deep warm color can stand as a focal point. Citrine's hardness of 7 makes it a durable everyday choice, and it is the November birthstone.
