These are AAA-grade Natural Citrine tumbled stones from Minas Gerais, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Natural citrine is quartz tinted pale yellow to honey by trace iron, far scarcer than the heat-treated amethyst usually sold as citrine. Each piece runs 1-1.50 inches and is unheated, with fully natural color. A favorite manifestation stone for desks and crystal grids.
Citrine (Natural) is most commonly classified as Quartz / Silicate (Tectosilicate). It's typically seen in yellow tones. Crystal system: Trigonal (hexagonal family). On the Mohs scale it generally falls around 7. Chemical formula commonly cited: SiO₂.
It typically forms in Granitic pegmatites; pocket crystals and vein zones. Common commercial sources include Brazil, Madagascar, Zambia, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Material is most often obtained through Mined from quartz veins/pockets and pegmatites; hand sorting.
Label is often misused; most market "citrine" is heat‑treated amethyst. Named for its citron‑yellow color; "citrine" historically refers to naturally yellow quartz (not just iron-stained quartz). Common confusions on the market include Common mix-up with heat-treated amethyst ("baked amethyst") sold as citrine.
Citrine (Natural) is often worked with for themes of abundance, manifestation, confidence, career. Optimistic mindset, goal clarity, steady confidence, productive drive.
Workspace: keep on desk for steady focus. Growth mindset support, follow-through support, upright presence.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
