Super beautiful citrine double-terminated crystal

A Citrine double-terminated crystal from Brazil in a distinct premium variant. Both ends are formed as clear points, with a warm golden color and a transparent hexagonal columnar center.

Double-terminated crystals grow freely in the geode solution without being connected to the geode wall. This constellation demonstrates the free movement of the crystal in the solution during growth.

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

Citrine belongs to the quartz family with a Mohs hardness of 7. Naturally colored material is valued significantly higher in the collector's market than heat-treated amethyst.

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