Natural Citrine Cathedral Cluster

Expand your Citrine collection with this rare Natural Citrine Cathedral Cluster. Natural Citrine tends to be paler than heat-treated Citrine and almost resembles Smoky Quartz. It is not as sparkly or deep in colour and therefore not as stereotypically “pretty”, however, to the crystal “purist” this is real Citrine!

This specimen was found in a mine at the border of China and Burma. My understanding is that this mine is now closed.

History and Uses

The name Citrine, comes from the French word citron meaning lemon. It was used as a gemstone in Greek jewellery as long ago as 300BC. This crystal varies in colour from the deep amber of heat treated Amethyst, to the pale yellows and browns of the natural variety.

Geological Description

Citrine is a member of the quartz family, a silicon dioxide mineral with a hardness of 7. Its yellow colouring comes from the inclusion of iron in the quartz.

Natural Citrine is mostly a pale yellow colour, while the darker, more orange specimens are often heat treated Amethyst. The latter is the most widely found and popular type of Citrine. Deposits are found in Brazil, Africa, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, France, Scotland and the USA.
