Citrine Smoky Quartz Double Terminated Crystal with Smoky Quartz Phantoms

A Citrine Double-Terminated Crystal from Brazil in a three-property composition. Citrine, smoky quartz, and phantom layers in a single freely grown crystal.

Double-terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution without being attached to the geode wall. Both ends form complete points. 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 due to iron substitutions in the quartz lattice, without subsequent heat treatment. Smoky quartz shadows document aluminum traces and natural radiation defects.

The compact format makes this piece a classic jewelry or collector's item. The three-property constellation is a premium classification based on its finding compared to standard citrine double-terminated crystals.
