Natural Citrine Brazil

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this crystal: Natural Citrine Brazil (shop SKU L4050).

Natural citrine is yellow to golden quartz, as distinct from amethyst that has been heated to a similar color. In crystal traditions, citrine is associated with warmth and abundance. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Brazil.
