CITRINE GEODE PAIR
Rio Grande do Sul, South Region, Brazil
Citrine is one of the more desirable forms of Quartz, valued in ancient times as it was thought to offer protection from snake venom and "evil thoughts". It has also been called: the "success stone" or "merchant's stone" and said to attract wealth and prosperity if carried on the person or positioned correctly in the home or place of business. This beautiful pair of geodes, or "cathedrals", boasts lovely crystals of the finest deep Madeira color, studded with a few growths of large chalky-white Quartz crystals and strikingly framed by the white Quartz of the cut and polished face, in a slender, curving pair of chimneys, some 50 3/8 inches (128 cm) and 49¼ inches (125 cm) tall. Small repair to side of one specimen. Offered at no reserve.
