Exclusive Citrine with Phantom Layers from Brazil (Ultra Clear) - 12cm, 513g

This exceptional piece captivates with its clarity 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.

Formation: Citrine is a variety of quartz formed by the natural heating of amethyst or smoky quartz in 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, where layers of other minerals deposit 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 prosperity and abundance. It is said to promote positive energies and repel negative energies. The phantom layers enhance the stone's energetic effect, making it a special highlight in any collection.
