Will I receive this exact cluster?

Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind piece and every photo shows the exact cluster you will receive, at 0.27 lbs and 3.22" L x 1.49" W x 1.25" H.

Is this natural citrine or heat-treated amethyst?

Natural. Most citrine sold worldwide is heat-treated amethyst, which produces a uniform bright orange. This is genuinely yellow quartz from the ground, which is why the colour is softer and less even.

Where does it come from?

Haut-Lomami, Democratic Republic of the Congo, from pegmatite-hosted quartz veins, through a community partnership.

Why is the colour paler than citrine I have seen elsewhere?

Because it has not been baked. Heat-treated material is more saturated and uniform. The paler honey tone is a sign of genuine natural origin.

Has anything been applied to it?

Only a light coat of natural jojoba oil to bring up the colour and texture. No dye, no heat, no filler.

How should I care for it?

Dust with a soft dry brush and handle it by the base so the terminations are not knocked. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

In Short

This is an A-grade Natural Citrine raw crystal cluster from Haut-Lomami, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Natural citrine is quartz coloured yellow by trace iron as it grew, never heat-treated, so the colour reads softer and less orange than baked amethyst sold under the same name. Slender through every axis except length, a flat bar of clustered points. The exact piece pictured measures 3.22" L x 1.49" W x 1.25" H and weighs 0.27 pounds at Mohs 7, hand-finished with natural jojoba oil and otherwise untreated.

Natural citrine is quartz that grew yellow. Trace iron in the crystal lattice produces a soft honey to pale amber colour, sometimes with smoky grey or lavender zoning running through the same piece. It is not the bright orange most shops sell.

That matters, because most citrine on the world market is heat-treated amethyst. Baking amethyst turns it a uniform saturated orange, often with a white base. Genuine natural citrine is paler, softer, and less even. The muted colour is the tell.

This cluster came out of pegmatite-hosted quartz veins in Haut-Lomami, Democratic Republic of the Congo, through a community partnership. It is hand-finished with natural jojoba oil and nothing else.

Citrine is worked with around abundance, confidence, and creative momentum, the kind that shows up as steady follow-through rather than a burst. It is traditionally linked to the solar plexus and crown chakras.

If that resonates, a cluster like this usually lives on a desk or workspace shelf where you pass it during the day.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
