Citrine

Rough citrine from VR Stones is sourced directly from mining zones in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with natural coloration ranging from pale yellow to deep amber. The stones are unheated and retain their original crystal structure, with typical dimensions between 10mm and 50mm in length and weights from 5g to 150g per piece. Each batch is sorted by size and hue, with no chemical treatments applied. The material is consistent with natural citrine found in pegmatite and hydrothermal veins of the region.

Citrine in this supply is classified as Type I gemstone under the GIA system, with clarity typically showing minor internal fractures and natural inclusions such as rutile needles or small mineral deposits. These characteristics are standard for unheated Brazilian citrine and are not considered defects. The stones are not enhanced or irradiated, distinguishing them from treated quartz varieties common in other markets. Packaging is in bulk polyethylene bags, sealed to prevent moisture exposure during transit.

This material is primarily purchased by jewelry manufacturers for hand-set pieces, crystal healers for energy work, and wholesale gift retailers seeking natural stone inventory. Buyers typically order in quantities of 1kg to 10kg per shipment, with standard packaging in 1kg sealed bags. Trade terms available include FOB Vitória and CIF ports in Europe and North America. Lead time is confirmed upon order placement and depends on current stock levels at the supplier’s warehouse in Capim Governador.
