'Citrine' Quartz Crystals on Matrix  OTH 025

Geode lined with sparkling, milky quartz crystals

Measurements: 73 x 65 x 26 mm

Description:  Citrine quartz crystals with a few pieces of faceted calcite sit on a quartz and chalcedony matrix. 

The crystals were originally amethyst, but the specimen was then baked at a high temperature, which turned the colour to citrine. 

The only notable damage is to the edges of the specimen.  It displays well on a flat surface, all-round. The base of the matrix has been partially trimmed.
