What you find in the box
You receive a mineral selection in a simple, clean decorative box. The box contains three different minerals: yellowish citrine, purple amethyst and transparent rock crystal. The pieces are hand-sized, with a combined weight of a few hundred grams. The pieces lie arranged in the box, so you get a striking overview right at unpacking.
Introducing the three minerals
Citrine is a stone from the quartz family with a pale yellow or honey-yellow shade. Amethyst is also a type of quartz, with a distinctive purple colour. Rock crystal is a transparent, colourless quartz, valued in many places for its clarity and striking appearance. The three complement each other nicely, three different colours and characters in one box.
What you can use the box for
You can use this selection in several ways. At home, you can place it on a shelf, desk or windowsill as decoration. If you are a beginner mineral collector, this is a good starter pack for studying the first three classic quartz types. It is also excellent as a gift, because all three minerals are popular, and the recipient gains three pieces at once.
Cleaning and storage
Quartz types are relatively hard, so you can wipe them with lukewarm water and a soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use strong chemicals, and protect amethyst from prolonged sunlight to prevent fading. Store the pieces in the box, or separately on a soft pad, so they do not scratch each other.
Gift idea
The box can be given as a gift in its ready form, placed in a decorative box or wrapped in simple wrapping paper. It is a kind, personal surprise for a birthday, Christmas or housewarming. The pieces received can be used for a long time, and serve as a fond memento over the years.
