Natural Real Citrine Obelisk Tower, AAA Water-Clear Honey Orange Citrine
Located in Ametista Do Sul, BR
AAA Natural Honey Orange Citrine Obelisk Tower: A Display of Exceptional Water-Clear Citrine Crystal
▫️ Description
Standing tall in its obelisk tower form, this natural citrine is an outstanding sculpture that blends Nature's perfect crystal with the highest level of craftsmanship. This citrine will surely become an extraordinary addition to any collection and a fabulous accent piece for your space.
The first thing to emphasize is the raw, unheated quality of this citrine. It not only ensures its rarity but also preserves the intact vibrations that set this specimen apart.
The water-clear interior of this citrine, adorned with natural inclusions and fractures that form swirls and waves, sparks curiosity about the formation of such pristine quartz. As light reflects and dances off these unique features, it creates the illusion of an inner glow and perpetual motion, adding to its rarity and allure.
We decided to keep the citrine specimen in the exact format it was found in nature and to further highlight the interior of the specimen, the faces were polished using cerium oxide (CeO2), giving it a world-class lapidary finish that is unseen in similar pieces.
Another highlight of this raw citrine point is its color, a color tone that is called "Honey Orange Citrine". This color tone can be fully appreciated under sunlight, as well as under a warm yellow light.
Quality-wise, this Citrine is of Super Extra (AAA) Grade, offering water-clear translucency, gorgeous aesthetics, and a beautiful tone of Honey Orange.
This Natural Citrine is specimen to be honored, sure to find its way to a prime spot in your collection or as a striking addition to your space. Please message us if you have a particular request or question and take a look at the video and at the details on the pictures. 🧡
