Citrine Points Pack

Description

Each Citrine Points Pack includes quartz points hand-selected for color and clarity. Their bright yellow to amber tones come from trace iron impurities within the crystal lattice. The points are lightly polished to preserve their natural prism shape and radiant transparency.

Geological Background

Citrine is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) formed when iron impurities in the crystal lattice oxidize to produce yellow, orange, or golden hues.
It commonly develops in igneous pegmatites and hydrothermal quartz veins, and is closely related to amethyst—which can transform into citrine through natural or artificial heating.

Major sources include Brazil, Madagascar, and Zambia, where quartz-bearing pegmatites yield both natural and treated stones.

Historical & Cultural Context

Since antiquity, Citrine has symbolized warmth, vitality, and prosperity.
The Romans used it in engraved seals, and during the 19th century it became known as the “Merchant’s Stone”, placed in cash drawers to attract abundance. Its golden color connected it to the sun, representing optimism and clarity in ancient mythologies.

Aesthetic & Collector Evaluation

Citrine displays vivid yellow to honey-orange hues and vitreous luster.
When cut or polished into points, light refracts through its transparent body, enhancing its internal glow. Each crystal point is unique in tone and saturation, making every pack visually distinct.

Metaphysical Notes

Often called the “Success Stone” or “Stone of Joy,” Citrine is believed to encourage self-confidence, motivation, and creative flow.
Its solar energy is said to energize and cleanse other stones, dispelling negativity and inspiring optimism.

Care & Handling

• Clean gently with mild soap and water; avoid prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.

• Store separately to avoid scratches.

• Handle with care — points may have delicate terminations.

• Recharge under indirect sunlight or near clear quartz clusters.
