Wonderful citrine geode pair with fantastic color

A Citrine Druse Pair from Brazil in a deep honey-yellow color. The two halves are balanced, a curated presentation of the original geode's symmetry.

Citrine forms in volcanic geodes of the Serra Geral Basalt Formation from silica-rich solutions. The honey-yellow color comes from traces of trivalent iron. Brazilian deposits in Rio Grande do Sul yield particularly intense colorations, often with citrine points that grow into each other in multiple layers.

Druse pairs are formed by controlled splitting of the geode along its axis of symmetry. Both halves mirror the growth geometry of the original cavity's inner wall.

The recovery in the basalt layers takes several days underground. Druse pairs of this gallery dimension are classified in the collector's trade as premium display pieces. A collector's item with classic druse pair form and typical Brazilian honey hue.
