Citrine Double Terminated Crystal

A Citrine double terminated crystal from Brazil in a handy standard version. Both ends are pointed, a visually symmetrical growth phenomenon that forms its own classification in the collector's market.

Double terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution without being connected to the geode wall. This constellation documents the free movement of the crystal 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 format makes the piece a classic jewelry or collector's item. Double terminated crystals are a separate classification in the collector's market compared to standard single terminated crystals.
