Lemon Quartz Gemstone 132 Carats
An impressive lemon quartz gemstone that reflects light beautifully from every angle. Each facet has been cut by hand which is an intricate and painstaking process.
Lemon quartz does not occur naturally. The vast majority of stones are amethyst or smoky quartz that's been heated.
Some lemon quartz is low grade natural citrine that's been heated.
The beauty of lemon quartz is that with it being far more affordable than many other varieties of quartz, much larger gemstones can be produced.
Lemon quartz is sometimes mis-sold as citrine. A natural citrine gemstone of this size would be extremely rare. Were one to be found it would command an exceptional price.
Gemstones have been heated to enhance or change their colour for thousands of years. Most of the world's finest rubies and sapphires have been heat treated.
