There is something quietly grounding about a citrine (heat-treated amethyst) in its raw, uncut form, ready to be held and lived with. The raw piece keeps the stone's natural edges, fracture surfaces and original look — just as it formed in nature.
About citrine (heat-treated amethyst)
This citrine is created from heat-treated amethyst: heat turns the violet quartz a warm amber to honey yellow. It is a long-established practice; the stone is quartz at heart, with a Mohs hardness of 7. It typically measures kb. 3–6 cm.
Citrine (heat-treated Amethyst) in tradition
Tradition knows it as a stone of cheer and abundance; many connect it to the solar plexus and joy in life. These meanings belong to crystal lore rather than medical fact — the stone's beauty and presence are a value in themselves.
Living with it
Its warm, sunny yellow is a cheerful accent on a working desk or windowsill. It also makes a good companion for meditation or quiet moments, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves the natural beauty of minerals.
Good to know
As a natural mineral, every piece is unique: colour, size, shape and pattern may differ a little from the photo — which is exactly what makes the stone you receive one of a kind. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight, heat sources and harsh chemicals; keep the softer stones from lasting moisture as well.
