Massive Citrine Quartz of intense orange color.
The name of Citrine comes from the French citron (lemon). Its color can vary from pale yellow to orange.
The natural yellow color is due to the presence of iron (Fe3+). In this case its color comes from heating the amethyst.
The mineral includes a label with the name and origin and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the minerals are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The minerals come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the mineral. The size is approximate.
