UNUSUAL CITRINE GEODE
Rio Grade do Sul, South Region, Brazil
This aesthetic and unusual Citrine geode is from the Uruguay/Brazil border. Unlike most of the Citrine geodes from this area, this one features some rarely seen accessory white Calcite crystals on one side of the cavity, looking like white flowers. The cavity itself is unusually wide, allowing light to enter from all angles, highlighting the gemmy crystal interior. The Citrine is a rich, dark amber hue with golden highlights. The crystals are sharp, lustrous and completely cover the interior of the piece, and the white agate rim has been hand polished. The condition is excellent and the overall measurements are 34 x 10 ½ x 16 inches.
