Citrine Crystal Natural Quartz Mineral India 40-60mm Genuine Specimen Quartz Collectors Gift with Certificate of Authenticity
£ 3.60
Product OverviewThis natural Citrine crystal is a genuine quartz mineral specimen sourced from
India, carefully selected for its colour, form, and overall visual appeal. Each piece measures approximately 40–60mm, making it an ideal size for display, collecting, or gifting. The photograph provided represents an example of the actual specimen you will receive, ensuring confidence in quality and presentation. Every crystal includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee card, confirming its genuine mineral origin.Geology & Mineral ClassificationCitrine is a variety of quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂), one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth’s crust. It belongs to the trigonal crystal system and forms in a range of geological environments, typically within hydrothermal veins and igneous rock cavities. The distinctive yellow to golden hues of Citrine are caused by trace amounts of iron within the crystal lattice, which undergo natural colouration processes during formation.Indian Citrine specimens are often associated with quartz-rich geological formations, where silica-rich fluids crystallise over time in open spaces, allowing well-formed crystal growth. These environments can produce attractive transparency, internal clarity variations, and natural surface textures that are highly valued by collectors.Appearance & Natural FeaturesThis Citrine crystal displays the classic warm tones associated with the variety, ranging from pale yellow to deeper golden shades. Colour intensity may vary slightly between pieces due to natural formation conditions. The crystal may exhibit typical quartz characteristics such as internal veils, inclusions, or subtle zoning, all of which are natural features rather than flaws.Transparency can range from translucent to semi-transparent, with occasional internal reflections that enhance visual interest under light. The surface may include natural growth patterns, minor irregularities, or contact points where the crystal formed against surrounding rock.Crystal Structure & FormationAs a quartz variety, Citrine forms hexagonal prismatic crystals terminating in pyramidal points. While smaller specimens such as this may not always show fully defined terminations, they still retain the structural integrity and mineral identity of quartz. These crystals develop over extended geological periods, often millions of years, under stable temperature and pressure conditions.Uses & Collecting AppealCitrine is widely appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and is a popular addition to mineral collections, display cabinets, and educational sets. It is also traditionally associated with spiritual practices and symbolic meanings in various cultures, though such interpretations are based on personal beliefs rather than scientific properties.Its manageable size makes it suitable for decorative use, gifting, or inclusion in curated mineral assortments. Each piece is unique, offering individual character shaped by natural geological processes.Authenticity & Presentation• Genuine Citrine quartz mineral specimen from India• Size range: approximately 40–60mm• Carefully selected for quality and appearance• Supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee card• Example photo provided – each piece is similar in quality and formThis Citrine crystal offers a natural, authentic mineral specimen that highlights the beauty and diversity of quartz formation, making it a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
