Lemon Quartz Double-Terminated Point

This lemon quartz double terminated point features a bright, transparent to semi-transparent yellow hue with soft golden undertones and excellent internal clarity. The coloration is fresh and luminous, ranging from pale lemon to warm honey tones, with natural internal veils that catch the light beautifully. The polished surface enhances the crystal’s natural brilliance, giving it a clean, vibrant appearance that is often mistaken for natural citrine.

Locality
Lemon quartz is most commonly sourced from Brazil, where high-quality quartz is abundant and well suited for cutting and polishing. The yellow coloration is typically created through heat treatment or irradiation of natural quartz, a common and stable process within the crystal industry. Due to its visual similarity, lemon quartz is frequently marketed as citrine, though it is mineralogically distinct.

Shape and Size
This piece is a polished double terminated crystal point, featuring pointed terminations on both ends. Double terminated points are often used to allow energy to flow evenly in two directions, making them popular for balancing, connection work, and crystal grids. Measuring approximately 3 inches in length, this point is well suited for meditation, energy work, altar arrangements, grid layouts, or display. Its symmetrical shape and bright coloration make it both functional and visually striking.

Metaphysical Properties
Lemon quartz is commonly associated with clarity, focus, confidence, and mental energy. It is often used to support decision-making, manifestation, and personal empowerment. Many people work with lemon quartz to encourage optimism, creativity, and emotional uplift, making it a popular choice for solar plexus-centered practices and intention setting. Its double terminated form is believed to help circulate and balance energy rather than directing it in a single path.

Interesting Facts
Although often sold as citrine, lemon quartz differs in that its color is usually enhanced through treatment, while natural citrine forms through geological heat over long periods of time. Lemon quartz remains a true quartz crystal and is valued for its brightness, clarity, and affordability compared to natural citrine. Its double terminated shape does not naturally occur frequently in quartz, making polished versions especially popular among collectors and energy workers.
