Citrine Double Terminated Crystal with Smoky Quartz Phantoms

A Citrine Double Terminated crystal from Brazil with included Smoky Quartz phantoms. Both ends are terminated, and the phantom layers inside are visible as dark geometric lines.

Double terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution without being attached to the geode wall. Both ends are terminated. This configuration documents the free movement of the crystal in the solution during growth.

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

Its compact size makes this piece a classic jewelry or collector's format. Double terminated crystals are a separate classification in the collector's market compared to standard single terminated points.
