Discover the warm golden beauty of a Natural Citrine Specimen from Congo – 刚果天然黄水晶矿标.
Citrine is the yellow to golden variety of Quartz, with its colour traditionally associated with warmth, abundance and vitality. Natural Citrine is particularly appreciated by mineral collectors because genuinely naturally coloured Citrine is much less common than heat-treated Amethyst sold as Citrine.
This Congolese specimen showcases the natural character of Quartz in attractive yellow, golden or honey tones, depending on the individual piece. Natural variations in transparency, crystal formation, colour intensity and surface texture give every specimen its own unique character.
