Congo Citrine
Citrine from the Congo is a striking variety of quartz known for its deep yellow to amber hues and unique crystal formations. Citrine itself is a form of quartz that gets its golden coloration from trace amounts of iron, which, over time, are naturally heated within the Earth, altering the crystal’s structure and producing its warm, sunlit glow. The Congo variety is particularly prized for its rich, smoky-golden tones and high translucency, giving it a luminous, almost honey-like appearance.
What sets this variety apart is its cathedraling—a formation where multiple crystal terminations grow in parallel, resembling the spires of a cathedral. This natural growth pattern creates layered, stepped structures that enhance the crystal’s energy flow. Metaphysically, Congolese Citrine is believed to be a powerful stone of abundance, confidence, and manifestation. It is associated with the solar plexus chakra, promoting personal empowerment and clarity. With its deep, golden warmth and intricate formations, this crystal is highly valued for both its beauty and its uplifting, energizing presence.
