Citrine Double Terminated Crystal

A Citrine double-terminated crystal from Brazil. Both ends are pointed, a classic double-terminated geometry in a compact collector's size.

Double-terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution without being attached to the geode wall. The symmetrical constellation demonstrates the crystal's free movement in the solution during growth.

Brazilian citrine deposits in Rio Grande do Sul supply this material from the Serra Geral Basalt Formation. The natural gold color is created by iron substitutions in the quartz lattice, without subsequent heat treatment.

The compact collector's size makes this piece a classic jewelry or display cabinet format. Double-terminated crystals are a distinct classification in the collector's market compared to standard single-terminated points.
