Hexagon in Citrine

Another hexagon, this time a bright orange citrine cut from Brazilian rough obtained at the February Tucson shows. (This photo looks too yellow on my current monitor.) It is 9.8 mm. across and is 4.36 carats and is very bright from the row of concave facets on the pavilion.

Citrine octagon
