Great Citrine Sphere with Rainbow Inclusions

A Citrine Sphere from Zambia with strong rainbow inclusions. The golden-yellow material remains clear in the background, while the spectral reflections wander across the polished surface with every turn.

Zambian Citrine is natural material without heat treatment. The golden color comes directly from the mineralization phase; iron substitutions in the quartz lattice create the strong coloration.

Rainbow inclusions form on internal cleavage and fracture surfaces, which refract light into its spectral components. Diffraction effects on the crystal structure are considered a premium indicator of high material clarity.

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