The yellow to golden tones develop through natural geological heating and oxidation processes over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis specimen shows evidence of natural crystal growth, including uneven faces and slight surface etching, which occur during formation in mineral-rich environments. The darker tones near the tip suggest variations in temperature or mineral concentration during growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInternal inclusions and fracture lines are visible throughout the crystal. These are formed as the crystal grows and experiences changes in pressure, temperature, or surrounding mineral content. Some inclusions appear as small iron deposits, contributing to the warm colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe translucency varies across the piece, with clearer sections allowing light to pass through, while more included areas appear cloudy or textured—both typical characteristics of naturally formed quartz crystals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral: Quartz\u003cbr\u003eFormula: SiO₂\u003cbr\u003eColour: Pale yellow → deep amber\u003cbr\u003eCause of Colour: Iron impurities\u003cbr\u003eLustre: Vitreous (glassy)\u003cbr\u003eTransparency: Transparent → translucent\u003cbr\u003eStreak: White\u003cbr\u003eHardness: 7 (Mohs)\u003cbr\u003eFracture: Conchoidal\u003cbr\u003eCleavage: None\u003cbr\u003eDensity: ~2.65\u003cbr\u003eCrystal System: Trigonal\u003cbr\u003eHabit: Hexagonal prisms\u003cbr\u003eFormation: Igneous rocks \u0026amp; hydrothermal veins\u003cbr\u003eCommon Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, Russia\u003cbr\u003eOptical:\u003cbr\u003eRefractive Index: ~1.54–1.55\u003cbr\u003eWeak pleochroism\u003cbr\u003eExtras:\u003cbr\u003eNatural citrine is rare\u003cbr\u003eOften heat-treated amethyst\u003cbr\u003eColour usually more uniform than amethyst\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eNatural raw formation with visible inclusions and internal fractures\u003cbr\u003ePartial termination with natural wear and surface etching\u003cbr\u003eVariation in colour and clarity throughout\u003cbr\u003eIron-rich inclusions present\u003cbr\u003eNo polishing, dyeing, or artificial enhancement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare Instructions\u003cbr\u003eHandle carefully to avoid chips, especially around the termination\u003cbr\u003eClean gently with a soft brush or dry cloth\u003cbr\u003eAvoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to help maintain colour\u003cbr\u003eKeep dry and avoid harsh chemicals\u003cbr\u003eStore separately to prevent scratching or impact damage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Ballerz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53663222694229,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/9295\/1125\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_7118d123-22df-45b5-8a2d-2a61f4b1ae0d.jpg?v=1776331868","url":"https:\/\/crystalballerz.co.uk\/products\/natural-raw-citrine-tower","provider":"Crystal Ballerz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
