Natural Rough Citrine Point – Approx. 52g | South Africa

A genuine natural rough Citrine point from South Africa, presenting in its raw, unpolished state with all the warmth and character of an authentic earth-formed crystal. Weighing approximately 52g, this is an intimate and tactile specimen — its smoky golden hues and natural termination making it equally at home in a crystal collection, on a work desk, or within a healing practice. Unlike the vivid orange heat-treated amethyst widely sold as citrine, this is naturally coloured and entirely unenhanced.

Physical Properties

• Citrine (Natural) — Chemical formula: SiO₂ (silicon dioxide); Hardness: 7 Mohs; Crystal system: trigonal; Lustre: vitreous; Transparency: transparent to translucent; Colour: pale to smoky golden yellow, naturally occurring from iron trace elements within the quartz lattice

Geology & Formation

Natural Citrine is a variety of quartz whose yellow to golden colouration arises from trace amounts of iron incorporated into the crystal lattice during formation, combined in some cases with natural irradiation from surrounding rock. It forms in hydrothermal veins and granite pegmatites, often found alongside amethyst and smoky quartz. Genuinely natural Citrine is relatively rare compared to the heat-treated amethyst that dominates the commercial market — South African material is particularly prized for its soft, smoky golden tones and well-formed natural points, which display the trigonal crystal habit of quartz with minimal treatment or intervention.

Crystal Properties

Citrine is widely regarded in crystal lore as the stone of abundance, manifestation, and personal power. Known as the “merchant’s stone”, it is associated with attracting prosperity, success, and positive energy. It is said to energise the solar plexus chakra, boosting confidence, motivation, and clarity of intention. One of the few crystals reputed never to hold negative energy, Citrine is considered a continuously uplifting presence — well suited to work spaces, meditation, and creative environments.
