Citrine Cathedral - 11.75 x 9.6 inch

The Citrine Cathedral Geode is a tall, upright geode opened along its length to expose a deep cavity packed with golden Citrine crystal points. The rough outer rind is left natural while the base and cut edges are polished flat so the piece stands securely as a floor feature. Approaching two feet in height, this Citrine Cathedral Geode is a full statement specimen, its warm amber interior gathering light across the room.

Citrine is traditionally associated with abundance and manifestation, carried for centuries as the merchant's stone in shops and cash drawers as a talisman for prosperity, and valued for a bright, energising character. A Cathedral Geode of this scale is most often placed in an entryway, studio or main living space as a central anchor, where its height and colour make it the natural focus of the room.

Every Citrine Cathedral Geode forms differently in the earth, so the tone of the crystal, the depth and shape of the cavity, and the outline of the rind are particular to this piece.

Geological Information
Citrine is a yellow-to-orange member of the Quartz family (silicon dioxide, Mohs 7, trigonal system), forming within geode cavities of this kind. Natural Citrine is relatively uncommon and typically pale yellow to champagne and honey in tone. Its name comes from the French citron, meaning lemon, and it is documented across European and Asian trading traditions as the merchant's stone, an abundance talisman kept close to money. Principal sources include Brazil, along with Uruguay, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, Scotland and the USA.
