Cathedral Citrine with 7 intergrown clear citrine crystals on a wooden base

An exceptional Cathedral Citrine with seven interlocking clear citrine crystals on a dark wooden base.

The cathedral shape is formed when multiple crystal axes grow parallel and finger-like from a common root point, forming a sculptural bundle. The material grew as a continuous piece from a geode.

Citrine belongs to the quartz family. The intense yellow, almost lemon-like coloration is created by trace elements of iron in the crystal lattice under natural radiation over millennia.

The number of seven parallel crystals is unusual; cathedrals typically have three to five points. The continuous clarity of all seven crystals indicates an undisturbed growth phase over long periods.

The dark brown lacquered wooden base is a classic Chinese collector's tradition and emphasizes the warm golden color of the crystal.

A top-class collector's item, suitable as a sculptural accent in a collection or reception area.
