Beautiful citrine druse from Brazil

A citrine geode from Brazil with a honey-colored tint, natural crystal points, and a striking rock crystal rim.

Citrine (SiO₂) owes its yellow color to traces of iron under low irradiation. The honey-colored saturation of this geode results from a natural growth phase, without subsequent burning.

The rim shows a charming combination of clear quartz, light and dark agate. Particularly striking are the pronounced quartz bands that extend across the geode both on the front and back.

Brazilian citrine in its true natural color is significantly rarer than heat-treated amethyst. Pieces with such consistent honey coloring are collectible in this quality.
