Geologic war crimes. Sometimes, an otherwise beautiful mineral or rock is turned into a hideous mess via human alteration. This video showcases several of the more common examples of such via the opinion of a geologist. Feel free to disagree. Reminder: This video is 100% opinion based. Do NOT harass anyone that makes or sells any of what I mention, or the people or companies whose photos I show and / or reference. Note: Some citrines can have a wider color range than the shown example in this video, or even a primarily orange, orange-red, or yellow-brown color.
