There is a very nice woman on the island who deals semi precious gemstones. Occassionally she will get in some very LARGE ones, but it is near impossible to get them because there are always buyers ahead of me. I finally was able to be the first person to see them and I jumped on these 4 citrines. This was just a quick picture to give you an idea- I will take individuals photos when I get off of work later that will show just how beautiful they really are.
Sorry again for the photo- it was taken with a crappy digital camera in a dark room. The stones are eye clean with the 20.80ct being IF. I believe the others are VVS and VS for one of the yellows.
From the left:
20.80ct Orange Citrine.
This is actually a step cut square/asscher- at least that is how I would describe it. It is gigantic- perhaps to big for a ring but I will look into pendants...any ideas out there. This is my favorite stone of the group and I plan on keeping it. The color is darker in the photo. I would say in RL it is closer to an orangey amber color.
I don't have the exact ct weight written down of the rest so I believe the next citrine is 14.0cts oval cut. Sorry about the glare on the stone from my camera. The stone is really beautiful in real life. That is not zoning in any of the stones, it was just very dark in the room and my flash camera was acting stupid. I will probably turn this into a pendant....need setting ideas though.
Next is a 10 ct yellow citrine. I bought this for a friend since she was off island at the time. I'm not sure what she is going to do with it.
Lastly is another orange citrine. I believe this one is 17cts. I plan on giving this to my MIL for her upcoming 60th Birthday. She loves fall colored gemstones so i think we will set this into a pendant for her omega.
Can you tell I'm a huge fan of BIG stones?!
