Natural Citrine (Congo)

This crystal is listed as Natural Citrine (Congo) (shop SKU NCC7000), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

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 Congo.
