Citrine Cluster

A natural citrine cluster with warm amber-to-golden-yellow points on white quartz matrix. Natural citrine — as distinct from heat-treated amethyst sold as citrine — has a pale to medium golden tone, not the burnt orange of heated material. These clusters are genuine citrine.

Citrine is silicon dioxide coloured by ferric iron inclusions, giving it the yellow spectrum it occupies. It is the same mineral family as amethyst (quartz) but coloured by iron rather than iron-manganese combinations.

Known since antiquity as the merchant's stone, citrine has a long association with prosperity, confidence, and creative energy. Place it in your workspace or anywhere you want bright, active energy rather than calm.
