Rare yellow citrine quartz bi-terminated and scepter

From our selection of collectible minerals we propose a rare group of Citrine quartz crystals from Cretaio, Prata, Massa Marittima, Tuscany. Moreover, it is characterized by bi-terminated crystals and a scepter formation, enriched by a brilliant iridescence and by an intense citrine-yellow color on a matrix, which enhance its aesthetic value and mineralogical significance. The specimen stands out for the quality of crystallization and for the overall esthetic balance, with features that emphasize its natural structure and visual impact. The yellow color of citrine quartz is due to traces of iron incorporated into the quartz crystal lattice, often activated by natural irradiation phenomena: genuine citrine, not obtained by thermal treatment of amethyst, is relatively rare in nature. The scepter habit, visible in this specimen, forms when growth of a crystal is interrupted and later resumes developing around a preexisting, often thinner, nucleus. The Massa Marittima area, in the Tuscan Metalliferous Hills, is historically known for its hydrothermal mineralizations and mining activity related to sulfides and iron oxides. This is an ideal specimen for mineral collections, display, and for those who appreciate the natural beauty of minerals, also in the field of crystal therapy and lithotherapy, according to the properties traditionally associated with the mineral species. All minerals are 100% natural and untreated, with rare exceptions always indicated in the description. The photographs are taken with professional lighting to best highlight colors and details; however, slight variations in shade may occur depending on the device or ambient light.
