Citrine double-terminated crystal in great color

A Citrine Double Terminated crystal from Brazil in a balanced standard gold color. Both terminations are well-formed, with the warm golden-yellow color evenly distributed throughout the crystal.

Double-terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution without being attached to the druse wall. Both ends form points. This configuration documents the crystal's free movement during growth.

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

Double-terminated crystals are a distinct classification in the collector's market compared to standard single-terminated crystals. Their free growth history is readable as a double characteristic in itself.
