Citrine Flame

A citrine flame from Brazil in a particularly compact form. The stocky geometry with an almost square cross-section distinguishes this piece from the slender, tall flames with a pronounced vertical line.

The compact form emphasizes the curved tip geometry. Citrine is the yellow iron-bearing quartz variety and crystallizes in volcanic geodes of the Serra Geral basalt formation.

Brazilian citrine deposits supply this material. The cut as a flame is an established curatorial form variant with a flowing outer contour.

The hand-sized dimension is suitable for desk or display case staging. Noteworthy is the color depth of the yellow quartz column, which reflects light in warm tones.
