Cushion-Cut Lemon Quartz or Heliodor Gemstone

This specimen is a faceted loose gemstone featuring a modified cushion cut with a large table and brilliant-style pavilion faceting. The stone is a transparent light yellowish-green hue, characteristic of either lemon quartz or heliodor (yellow beryl). Measuring approximately 12mm to 14mm based on the background ruler scale, the stone possesses high clarity with no visible internal inclusions to the naked eye. The external condition appears excellent, showing sharp facet junctions and a highly polished crown, suggesting minimal surface wear or abrasions. The stone is currently housed in a square clear plastic protective gem case, typically used for transport and storage by wholesalers or collectors. The symmetry of the faceting indicates professional lapidary work, likely of modern production (late 20th to 21st century). The color saturation is consistent throughout the stone with no apparent zoning. Without refractive index testing, specific mineral identification cannot be confirmed, but the physical presentation suggests a high-quality commercial-grade jewelry stone ready for setting.
