Clear Citrine Sphere from Zambia with beautiful rainbows and great reflections

A clear citrine sphere from Zambia with fine rainbow inclusions. With every turn, the spectral reflections move across the polished surface, while the golden-yellow material remains clearly visible in the background.

Zambian citrine belongs to the rare category of natural, unheated citrine. Iron substitutions in the quartz lattice create the gold color directly from the deposit, without heat treatment.

Rainbow inclusions are formed on internal cleavage and crack surfaces, which break light into its spectral components. They are not foreign minerals, but diffraction effects on the crystal structure itself and are considered a premium indicator of high clarity.

The spherical shape maximizes the optical effect. Zambian pegmatites supply this material in facet quality for collector's items.
