ALPINE FADEN CITRINE Double-Terminate from italian Mont Blanc, Italy
From the collection of natural, museum-quality minerals comes this exceptionally rare specimen of Citrine Faden Quartz, doubly terminated! Faden quartz, known for its rarity, crystallizes by remaining flat and growing primarily in two dimensions. What makes this particular quartz unique is that it naturally formed as citrine!
The presence of oxides and limonite inside the crystal gives it a bright and intense yellow color, adding an unparalleled elegance to the specimen. The combination of Faden, doubly terminated, and citrine properties makes this a one-of-a-kind specimen, unseen in years of collecting. Also noteworthy are the beautiful smaller quartz crystals that accompany the main piece, displaying both Faden and classic crystallization styles.
This mineral truly deserves a place in a museum or in the collection of a high-prestige collector!
