Honey-colored Citrine Geode Pair from Brazil

A Citrine geode pair in honey-color from Brazil. A mirror-cut geode with a warm golden hue, the fine citrine points inside glow with a medium-saturated honey shimmer under direct light.

The honey color lies between the lighter standard citrines and the darker amber varieties. It is a warm golden mid-classification with a characteristic honey shimmer under direct lighting.

Geode pairs are formed when a geode splits along its central axis. The two halves show mirror-image growth geometry and can be displayed as an open double-arrangement.

Citrine forms in the volcanic gas cavities of the Serra Geral Basalt Formation. The golden-yellow coloration indicates iron substitutions in the quartz lattice, here in a medium concentration for the honey tone.

Brazilian workshops in Rio Grande do Sul process the material into such double arrangements. The compact size makes the geode pair a well-balanced collector's item.
