This process gives citrine its characteristic yellow to golden colour, ranging from soft champagne tones to deeper amber shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuartz forms in hydrothermal environments, where mineral-rich fluids slowly cool and crystallise within cavities and veins. The natural structure of this piece reflects these conditions, with visible growth patterns, inclusions, and surface textures that developed over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuartz crystallises in the trigonal crystal system and typically forms hexagonal prisms. In this specimen, the crystal has been left in its natural state, preserving its original formation and showcasing the raw beauty and structure of citrine as it occurs in nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral Information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMineral: Quartz (Citrine variety)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormula: SiO₂\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Yellow → golden → amber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCause of Colour: Iron impurities and natural heat exposure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLustre: Vitreous (glassy) on crystal faces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransparency: Transparent → translucent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreak: White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardness: 7 (Mohs)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFracture: Conchoidal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleavage: None\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDensity: ~2.65\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal System: Trigonal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHabit: Typically hexagonal prisms (natural formation in this piece)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormation: Hydrothermal veins and cavities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Locations: Brazil, Madagascar, Russia, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefractive Index: ~1.54–1.55\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtras\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMay contain natural inclusions, veils, or internal fractures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface texture and growth patterns vary across the piece\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValued for its natural form and colour variation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural, unpolished crystal formation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface irregularities and inclusions typical of natural quartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVariation in colour, clarity, and structure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo visible dyeing or artificial enhancement\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle with care to avoid chips or damage to natural edges\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean gently with a soft cloth or soft brush\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore separately to prevent scratching other items\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crystal Ballerz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53735423607125,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1039\/9295\/1125\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_ca795b3b-2147-4eb0-b62e-64158b1a1103.jpg?v=1776773971","url":"https:\/\/crystalballerz.co.uk\/products\/untitled-21apr_12-01","provider":"Crystal Ballerz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
