GENUINE NATURAL CITRINE (ROUGH) – BRAZIL QUARTZ SPECIMEN

This listing is for a genuine Natural Citrine rough crystal specimen from
Brazil, sized approximately 30–40mm. The photograph shown represents an example of the actual piece you will receive. Each specimen is carefully selected for its natural golden colour, crystal structure, and collector quality, preserving the raw character of quartz in its original form.

Your specimen includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card, confirming it is a 100% genuine natural mineral. Please refer to the photographs for full sizing and scale details.

MINERAL SPECIES & SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION

Citrine is a yellow to golden-orange variety of Quartz, composed of Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂). Quartz is one of the most abundant and widely recognised minerals in the Earth’s crust and is valued for its durability and crystal clarity.

Key mineral details:


• Mineral Species: Quartz (Citrine variety)
• Chemical Formula: SiO₂
• Crystal System: Trigonal
• Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale
• Lustre: Vitreous to slightly dull in rough form
• Transparency: Transparent to translucent
• Fracture: Conchoidal

Natural citrine owes its warm yellow colour to trace iron impurities within the quartz crystal lattice, influenced by natural geological heating during formation.

GEOLOGICAL FORMATION & BRAZILIAN ORIGIN

Brazil is one of the world’s most significant sources of quartz crystals, including naturally coloured citrine. These crystals typically form in hydrothermal veins and pegmatitic environments, where silica-rich fluids slowly crystallise within cavities and fractures in host rock.

Over millions of years, quartz crystals grow layer by layer, forming prismatic structures that may display natural terminations or growth faces. Brazilian quartz deposits are particularly well known for producing well-formed crystals with good transparency and vibrant colour.

Associated minerals in Brazilian quartz-bearing regions may include:


• Amethyst
• Smoky quartz
• Feldspar
• Tourmaline
• Mica

Each specimen reflects the geological history of Brazil’s mineral-rich landscapes.

ROUGH CRYSTAL CHARACTERISTICS & NATURAL FEATURES

This citrine is presented in its natural rough form, retaining the original surfaces created during crystal growth and extraction. Rough specimens may show:


• Natural crystal faces or partial terminations
• Irregular edges and textures
• Internal veils or inclusions
• Subtle colour zoning from pale yellow to deeper golden tones
• Natural surface sheen

These features are part of the authentic mineral formation and make every piece unique.

Rough citrine is particularly appreciated by collectors who prefer specimens in their natural state rather than polished or shaped forms.

SIZE & COLLECTOR APPEAL (30–40MM)

At approximately 30–40mm, this is a strong medium-sized collector specimen, large enough to display clear crystal features and colour while remaining easy to handle and store.

Ideal uses include:


• Mineral and quartz collections
• Display cabinets or specimen trays
• Educational geological study
• Lapidary or craft projects (subject to suitability)
• Thoughtful gifts for mineral enthusiasts

The size allows the crystal’s structure and natural golden tone to be clearly visible.

COLLECTING & TRADITIONAL ASSOCIATIONS (NON-MEDICAL)

Citrine is widely collected as one of the most recognisable quartz varieties, admired for its warm colour and natural formation. Brazilian citrine is especially valued for its clarity and classic crystal habit.

In spiritual traditions, citrine is traditionally associated with abundance symbolism and positive energy concepts. This listing presents the specimen strictly as a natural mineral collectible, without any medical or outcome-based claims.
