Beautiful Citrine Double Terminated Crystal

A Citrine Double Terminated Crystal from Brazil in a pronounced gallery size. Both ends are formed as points, with a uniformly clear golden hue across the slender crystal body and clean cut surfaces at the transition.

Double terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution, without being connected to the geode wall. This configuration documents the crystal's free movement in the solution during growth.

Brazilian citrine deposits in Rio Grande do Sul supply this material from the Serra Geral basalt formation. The natural golden color is created by iron substitutions in the quartz lattice, without subsequent heat treatment.

Natural, unheated citrine is a distinct class gemmologically. A large part of the market consists of heated amethyst, which only acquires the citrine color during the heating process. Such pieces differ in color from the natural material.

The compact format makes this piece a classic jewelry or collector's format. Double terminated crystals are a distinct classification in the collector's market compared to standard single points.
