Exclusive citrine with phantom layers - 10cm, 146g

This extraordinary piece captivates with its bright yellow color and the impressive phantom layers visible inside. Citrine is a truly rare and valuable gem for collectors and enthusiasts.

The phantom layers inside the crystal show earlier growth phases and give the stone a special depth and dimension. The clearer and more radiant the crystal, the more valuable and sought after it is.

It should be noted that the base area of this point is small.

Formation: Citrine is a variety of quartz formed by the natural heating of amethyst or smoky quartz within the earth’s crust. The yellow color is caused by iron impurities in the crystal lattice. Phantom crystals form through interruptions in the growth process, during which layers of other minerals are deposited before the growth of the citrine continues. These ghost images of earlier growth phases give phantom citrine its unique and fascinating structure.

Meaning and use: Citrine is often regarded as a stone of wealth and abundance. It is said to promote positive energies and ward off negative ones. The phantom layers enhance the stone’s energetic effect, making it a special highlight in any collection.
