A ten-sided girdle sets this citrine apart from a plain round: the outline is cut as a decagon, and the crown carries precision faceting that gathers into a broad star radiating from a small round center. The color is a soft, pale lemon yellow with a clear greenish cast, light enough that the facet work rather than the color is what holds the eye. The stone is transparent throughout, with a few fine surface marks and small pinpoints visible near one edge under close light. At 10.3mm across it has real spread for its weight.
Most of the world's citrine comes out of Brazil, and pale greenish-lemon material like this sits at the light end of what is mined there. The stone is untreated. A 10.3mm decagon is a bold face for a ring with a single center stone or for a statement pendant, and precision work of this kind rewards a close look. For anyone shopping by birth month, citrine is the November stone.

About citrine
Citrine is the yellow to golden orange variety of quartz. At 7 on the Mohs scale with no cleavage, it is a durable stone for everyday wear.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. An ultrasonic cleaner is usually fine for a clean faceted citrine, but skip steam: sudden heat can crack quartz or change its color.
Wear and storage
Citrine is hard enough for everyday wear, and it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Harder stones such as topaz, sapphire, ruby and diamond can scratch it, so store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This citrine is untreated. Citrine takes normal setting well, but keep it out of direct torch flame: sudden heat can crack it or change its color.
