The crystal is superbly clear with an assortment of reflective foils in the lower half which are basically ultra thin interior fractures caused by heat or extreme pressure and with the right lighting can produce rainbow effects.  The upper half is populated by what's generally referred to as misty veils or transparent wisps but are actually a conglomeration of nearly microscopic gas bubbles. There's a small wedge shaped inclusion at the bottom of the crystal on one side that appears to be lodolite which is a general term used to describe a hodgepodge mass of crystalline structures that form scenic landscapes and colorful achitectural and geometric designs. All in all this large size natural citrine is near facet grade clean with no milky or cloudy areas and has exceptional gem clarity with a radiant brilliance that looks like frozen sunshine to me. Footnote: Ebay sellers from China offer bright yellow polished crystals that look similar to this totally natural yellow citrine from Brazil at a fraction of the cost.  These crystals are reconstituted (melted down quartz) which is nothing more than glass, they emit no electrical energy because the micro crystalline structure has been destroyed, it's dead, the melting killed it.  Any color, size or shape can be molded including spheres even with inclusions.  Some Chinese sellers are very honest about what they're selling and some are not ( buyer beware ).  Don't be fooled by clever forgeries, don't buy colored glass advertised as natural citrine, amethyst, smoky or water clear natural quartz.          Powered by eBay Turbo Lister Place a Bid!
