Natural Citrine Thin Polished Point 48mm
A beautiful Natural Citrine thin polished point measuring 48mm — a slender, elegantly formed crystal point polished to a smooth finish, displaying the warm, pale golden-yellow hues characteristic of genuine, untreated natural citrine. A refined and rare piece for collectors, healers, and crystal enthusiasts.
Natural vs. Heat-Treated Citrine:
Most citrine on the market is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz, which produces the deep orange-amber tones commonly associated with the stone. Natural citrine is far rarer — forming without any treatment and typically displaying 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 — a distinction that matters to knowledgeable collectors.
Polished vs. Raw Points:
This point has been polished to a smooth, tactile finish that enhances the stone’s natural clarity and colour, making it ideal for both display and handling. The slender, thin profile gives it an elegant, refined appearance — well-suited to crystal grids, altar arrangements, or as a standalone display piece.
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.
