Beautiful citrine druse with a great edge from Brazil

A citrine geode from Brazil with dark, intense crystal points and a multicolored border of quartz, carnelian, and chalcedony.

The natural points sparkle intensely when light hits them. Dark citrine saturation is less common in Brazilian material and is considered a higher quality grade.

The border is striking: transparent quartz, luminous carnelian, and finely structured chalcedony combine to form a multi-layered banding of the original agate amygdule.

Citrine (SiO₂) owes its warm hue to traces of iron in its crystal structure and forms under natural radiation conditions during quartz formation.
