Beautiful citrine double-terminated crystal

A Citrine Point from Madagascar with typical Madagascan citrine clarity. Clear crystal body in a warm gold color with no visible cloudiness.

Madagascar provides natural citrine without heat treatment. A rare gemological qualification in a market that predominantly consists of heated amethyst material.

Iron substitutions in the quartz lattice create the golden-yellow color directly from the deposit. The cutting process follows the natural hexagonal quartz geometry.

Material of this size is routinely recovered from the Itasy deposits. Processing into collector's items takes place in the capital Antananarivo.
