Citrine has been prized by human cultures for thousands of years and has long been associated with sunlight, warmth, prosperity, and vitality. Its name comes from the French word citron, meaning lemon, in reference to its natural yellow hues.
Historically, Citrine was used by ancient civilizations as a protective talisman against negativity and was often carried for confidence and success. In more recent centuries, it became known as the “merchant’s stone,” traditionally kept in cash drawers and places of trade.
Natural Citrine is far less common than most people realize. The majority of Citrine seen on the market today is heat-treated Amethyst or Smoky Quartz, which has been altered to produce yellow to orange tones. Truly natural Citrine is relatively rare and is typically lighter in color, ranging from pale champagne to soft golden hues.
From a metaphysical perspective, Citrine has long been associated with joy, optimism, and life-force energy.
Citrine is a variety of Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂) colored by trace amounts of iron within its crystal lattice. Its color develops naturally through geological heating and oxidation processes over long periods of time.
Natural Citrine forms in hydrothermal environments, often in association with Amethyst, Smoky Quartz, and Clear Quartz. In some cases, geological heating gradually transforms iron-bearing Quartz into Citrine without sudden thermal shock—this slow process is what differentiates natural Citrine from artificially heated material.

Most commercial “Citrine” is heat-treated Amethyst. This material typically displays:
Natural Citrine, by contrast, usually shows:
Bright, saturated gold Citrine is extremely rare in nature. Majestic Quartz supplies natural Citrine wherever specified.
🧼 Cleaning:
Citrine is water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking if fractures are present.
☀️ Light:
Natural Citrine is generally light-stable, though prolonged intense sunlight may soften color over very long periods.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately from harder minerals to preserve crystal faces. Citrine is ideal for open display where its energy can radiate freely.
⚠️ Elixir Use:
Only use elixir methods with verified natural Citrine and indirect preparation techniques.

Phantom Quartz is one of the most symbolically powerful growth forms in the Quartz family. These crystals contain visible internal “phantoms” — ghost-like images of earlier stages of the crystal’s own development preserved within the body of the crystal itself.
Each phantom represents a pause, interruption, or shift during the crystal’s growth cycle. Rather than halting development permanently, the Quartz resumes growth and carries the record of that moment forward. Because of this, Phantom Quartz has long been associated with evolution, resilience, and the ability to move forward after disruption.
Phantom Quartz occurs in many Quartz varieties, including Clear Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Amethyst, and included forms. Each variety adds its own nuance to the phantom’s expression and influence.
Phantom Quartz forms when a crystal’s growth is temporarily interrupted by the introduction of another substance or a change in environmental conditions. This interruption leaves a visible layer on the crystal’s termination before growth resumes, encapsulating that earlier stage within the final crystal.
The most powerful and visually striking phantoms are referred to as 3D phantoms. In these specimens, the interrupting material fully coats the termination, creating a complete three-dimensional “crystal within a crystal.”
| Property | Value |

| Mineral Species | Quartz (Phantom growth) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Transparent to translucent |
| Defining Feature | Visible internal growth stages |
⚠️ Handling:
Handle gently to protect internal clarity and phantom visibility. Lift from the base where possible.
🧼 Cleaning:
Brief water rinsing is generally safe. Avoid prolonged soaking if fractures or inclusions are present.
☀️ Light:
Protect Smoky and Amethyst Phantom Quartz from prolonged intense sunlight.
📦 Storage & Display:
Display with good lighting to reveal internal phantoms. These crystals benefit from being seen and consciously worked with.

Time Link Window Quartz crystals are identified by a distinctive parallelogram-shaped face interrupting the normal hexagonal structure of a Quartz crystal. When this forwards leaning window appears on the crystals termination, it is classified as a Future Time Link.
These crystals are not altered or modified forms of Quartz, but natural growth expressions that formed due to subtle changes in environmental conditions during crystallization. Future Time Link windows are uncommon and are considered advanced growth features within the Quartz family.
Traditionally, Time Link — Future crystals are associated with foresight, probability navigation, and conscious path selection. They are regarded as tools for exploring possible futures rather than fixed outcomes.
Time Link — Future Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system. The defining parallelogram face forms when growth conditions momentarily shift, allowing a secondary crystallographic plane to emerge.
The orientation of this face determines classification:
These features are growth-related and do not affect the durability or hardness of the crystal.

| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Transparent to translucent |
| Defining Feature | Right-facing parallelogram window |
⚠️ Handling:
Avoid excessive rubbing of the Time Link window face, as it is a natural growth surface rather than a polished plane.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Dry thoroughly. Avoid long soaks if internal fractures are present.
☀️ Light:
Light-stable. Normal ambient lighting is ideal.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store where the crystal can be oriented consistently, especially if you work with it regularly for future-path navigation.

Time Link Window Quartz crystals are identified by a distinct parallelogram-shaped face that interrupts the standard hexagonal geometry of a Quartz crystal. When this face appears on the left-hand side of the crystal (when viewed with the termination facing upward), it is traditionally classified as a Past Time Link.
These crystals are not a separate mineral species, but a specific growth feature that forms during crystallization. Time Link windows are uncommon and are typically found on otherwise well-formed Quartz points, making them particularly prized by collectors and practitioners alike.
Historically, Time Link Quartz has been associated with deep introspection, memory retrieval, and understanding cycles of cause and effect. Past Time Link crystals, in particular, are regarded as tools for accessing historical information—both personal and collective.
Time Link Window Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) and crystallizes in the trigonal crystal system, consistent with all Quartz varieties. The defining feature is the presence of a parallelogram-shaped face, which forms due to subtle interruptions or shifts in growth conditions during crystallization.
These windows develop when the crystal’s growth rate or direction changes slightly, allowing a secondary crystallographic face to form. The orientation of this face relative to the main termination determines whether the crystal is classified as a Past or Future Time Link.

| Mineral Species | Quartz (Time Link Window formation) |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ |
| Crystal System | Trigonal |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 |

| Defining Feature | Left-facing parallelogram window |
⚠️ Handling:
Time Link Quartz windows are natural growth faces and should not be rubbed aggressively. Handle gently to preserve surface detail.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking if internal fractures or inclusions are present.
☀️ Light:
Generally light-stable. Normal display lighting is ideal.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store where the window face is protected from abrasion. Displaying the crystal upright allows easier orientation and intentional use.
