Description

Natural Citrine Crystal from Brazil – Genuine Hand-Selected Quartz Specimen

This Natural Citrine crystal from Brazil is an authentic, high-quality quartz specimen, carefully chosen for its colour, clarity, and form. The photographs show the exact crystal you will receive, allowing you to appreciate its natural beauty before purchase. Like all of our genuine minerals, this piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming its true geological origin. Brazilian citrine is admired worldwide for its warm golden tones and clean quartz structure, making it a sought-after mineral for collectors and enthusiasts.

Geological Background and Formation of Brazilian Citrine

Citrine is the yellow to golden-orange variety of quartz, coloured naturally by ferric iron within the crystal lattice. Its formation takes place deep within the Earth’s crust where silica-rich solutions, heat, and geological pressure allow quartz crystals to grow slowly over long geological timescales. The distinctive colour of natural citrine develops as trace amounts of iron oxidise during crystal growth, creating the warm tones that define this mineral.

Brazil is one of the world’s premier sources of natural citrine, with vast quartz-bearing geological environments that include hydrothermal veins and pegmatitic formations. These regions provide ideal conditions for the crystal to grow in large, well-defined structures. Over millions of years, shifts in temperature and mineral-rich water flow promote crystallisation, producing the vibrant hues and transparency associated with high-quality Brazilian specimens.

Crystal Habit, Structure, and Natural Features

Citrine belongs to the trigonal crystal system, forming hexagonal prisms that often taper to a distinct termination. This specimen reflects the classic growth patterns of quartz, with natural facets, subtle internal structures, and rich colour zoning that highlights its authenticity. The interplay of light within the crystal showcases its transparent to translucent body, revealing internal planes and natural patterns that developed during its formation.

The golden colour seen in Natural Brazilian Citrine can range from pale honey to deep amber tones, depending on the iron content and environmental factors during crystallisation. Many collectors value these natural variations as unique geological signatures. Subtle inclusions, internal veils, and naturally formed planes may be present in genuine citrine, offering insight into the pressures and mineral conditions the crystal experienced as it matured within its host environment.

Origin and Mineralogical Significance

Brazil’s geological landscape contains extensive quartz deposits formed through hydrothermal processes. These environments allow silica-rich fluids to deposit quartz along fractures, cavities, and fissures. When iron is incorporated into these fluids, citrine can develop as a distinct variation of quartz. Brazillian mines are known for producing consistent, high-grade specimens with strong structural integrity and natural colour saturation.

Citrine holds a valued place within the quartz family due to its rarity in natural form and its well-preserved crystal shapes. This specimen demonstrates the mineralogical quality associated with Brazilian deposits—clarity, durability, and naturally warm colouration.
