Description
Citrine angel wings on stand with calcite – 137 kg from Ametista do Sul, Brazil
A truly spectacular pair of citrine angel wings on a stand, originating from the famous mineral region of Ametista do Sul in Brazil. This impressive pair is made from two matching parts of an original amethyst geode and together forms a stunning butterfly or angel wing shape.
The amethyst has been transformed by heating into the characteristic warm citrine-colored hues. Particularly special is the beautiful natural calcite formation between the crystals. This combination of heated amethyst and calcite makes the pair a unique mineral object, of which no two are identical.
With a combined weight of no less than 137 kilograms and a total height of approximately 170 cm , this is an impressive floor object for a luxury interior, showroom, hotel, wellness center, or special mineral collection.
A unique pair from a single geode
The special thing about these angel wings is that the two halves clearly belong together. When a geode is opened, a natural pair is formed in which the crystal structures, shapes, and colors complement each other.
In addition to the name angel wings, such a pair is therefore also called a citrine butterfly pair . The two large wings together form an almost symmetrical natural work of art.
One wing measures approximately 96 × 59 × 11 cm , while the other is approximately 93 × 56 × 11.5 cm
Originating from Ametista do Sul in Brazil
Ametista do Sul, located in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, is internationally famous for its enormous quantity of amethyst geodes. The name of the place literally means something like 'amethyst of the south' and already indicates how strongly the history of the area is connected to the mining of this mineral.
Amethyst occurs there in cavities in ancient volcanic rocks. Beautiful crystals could form in these spaces during geological processes. In addition to amethyst, other minerals are also found in the geodes, including calcite.
It is precisely the combination of crystals, natural geode shape, and complementary mineral formations that makes exceptional specimens from this region beloved worldwide by collectors and interior designers.
From amethyst to citrine color
These angel wings are made of heat-treated amethyst. In this process, natural amethyst is heated in a controlled manner, causing the original purple color to change into warm yellow, golden yellow, orange, and brown tones.
In the trade, this material is generally offered as citrine or heat-treated citrine. It is important to distinguish it from naturally formed citrine: this specimen was created by heat treatment of natural amethyst.
The result is a spectacular warm color that combines particularly beautifully with the natural calcite formation.
Unique natural calcite formation
What makes this pair particularly attractive is the presence of calcite formation. Calcite can develop in the crystal cavities after or while other minerals are forming, and can therefore occur as striking additional crystal growth between the amethyst crystals.
The unusual shape and color of the calcite create a beautiful contrast with the gold-colored crystals of the angel wings. For a collector, such a natural secondary mineral makes the specimen particularly interesting.
No less than 170 cm high
With a total height of approximately 1.70 meters , this pair has almost human dimensions. This makes the angel wings ideally suited for displaying directly on the floor.
In a large living room, entrance, hotel lobby, luxury office space, or showroom, an impressive eye-catcher is immediately created. By placing targeted lighting on the crystals, the effect becomes even more spectacular: hundreds of crystal faces individually catch and reflect the light.
A nature artwork for an exclusive interior
Large minerals are increasingly being used as exclusive interior pieces. This specimen goes a step further, as two matching geode parts together form one large sculptural object.
The warm citrine tones pair beautifully with wood, natural stone, black metal, and luxury materials. Moreover, thanks to the angel wing shape, the object is interesting from both a mineralogical and decorative perspective.
Every crystal point, color change, and calcite formation is formed by natural processes. As a result, this is an interior piece that can never be exactly reproduced.
From €69 to just €49 per kilo
This exceptional pair was previously offered for € 69 per kilo. The price has now been reduced to just € 49 per kilo.
