Natural Citrine Point - 16g

A beautiful Natural Citrine crystal point weighing 16g — a genuine, untreated specimen displaying the warm, pale golden-yellow hues characteristic of true natural citrine. A rare and sought-after crystal for collectors, healers, and anyone drawn to authentic, high-quality specimens.

Natural vs. Heat-Treated Citrine:
Most citrine on the market is actually heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz, which produces the deep orange-amber colour commonly associated with the stone. Natural citrine is far rarer — it forms without any treatment and typically displays softer, pale lemon-to-golden yellow tones, often with a smoky or phantomed base. This is a genuine natural citrine point, not a heated stone.

Geology: Citrine is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) coloured by trace amounts of iron within the crystal lattice. Natural citrine forms in hydrothermal veins and pegmatites, and is most notably sourced from the Ural Mountains of Russia, Madagascar, Brazil, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its name derives from the Latin citrina, meaning yellow.

In crystal healing traditions, Citrine is known as the Merchant’s Stone and the Stone of Abundance — associated with positivity, confidence, creativity, and the manifestation of prosperity. It is one of the few crystals said to not absorb negative energy, making it a low-maintenance and powerful addition to any collection.
