Dreamlike citrine heart from Brazil

A Citrine heart from Brazil with orange-brown crystals in the center and a wide rock crystal rim. Both sides are polished and show the sparkle of the crystal layer.

The orange-brown color variant in citrines is caused by a specific iron constellation during crystallization. These warm-toned citrines typically come from Brazilian geodes in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia.

The wide rock crystal rim contrasts with the colored center and reveals the genesis sequence of the piece: first the iron-rich citrine phase, then the iron-free rock crystal mantle. A compact heart composition from a single geode segment.
