These are "AA" graded natural citrine point chunks that have great color and translucency with few to no mineral deposits remaining. The color in some pieces is exceptional and close to "AAA" graded natural citrine with the main difference being these raw crystal points are often not fully intact (which is especially rare with natural citrine) and occasional iron oxide deposits can still be present on the surface. Most pieces will show some levels of fractures, although occasionally there are pieces with a more intact crystal point structure. Finding dark smoky colored natural citrine from Brazil is very uncommon and only few deposits yield the coloration that can rival those found in the African varieties such as Lwena and Kundalini Quartz. We are do not know how regularly we will be able to get raw natural citrine crystals of this quality as most of the Brazilian varieties we have encountered is much lighter in coloration. These are completely natural citrine point chunks that have never been heat-treated unlike the vast majority of “citrine” which is essentially heat-enhanced amethyst.
