Radiant Yellow Citrine Quartz Crystal Cluster on Black Background. A stunning macro photograph of a vibrant citrine quartz crystal cluster, brilliantly isolated against a solid black background. The specimen features a dense formation of sparkling, terminated quartz points. The crystals radiate a brilliant golden-yellow to sunny orange hue, with the color most concentrated at the tips, transitioning to a clearer, whitish quartz at the base. This coloration is characteristic of heat-treated amethyst, a common and accepted method for creating commercial citrine. The drusy texture creates a spectacular, shimmering surface that captures and reflects light.Photographed at the Chongqing Natural Resources Science Popularization Museum, this beautiful specimen is a prime example of citrine. As a variety of quartz, it is used in jewelry and ornamentation. In the metaphysical and spiritual communities, Citrine is highly celebrated as the "Merchant's Stone" or "Success Stone." It is believed to carry the power of the sun, attracting wealth, prosperity, and success while dispelling negativity and inspiring joy and creativity. This radiant image is ideal for geological content, jewelry design, or for illustrating themes of abundance, positivity, and natural energy.
