This is Turkish stick agate which comes from Çubuk City located 20 miles north of Ankara. Curiously the word Çubuk in Turkish means stick although the city was named long before these agates were ever discovered there. Stick agate owes its fascinating patterning to zeolite which completely gave up its columnar form to silica creating a seemingly endless variety of evocative designs. Each and every piece is totally different. This sphere was handmade by local talented Lapidary artist, John Daly.

These sets have been put together with the intention to bring awareness to our interconnectedness. It is our hope that these “Crystals Without Borders” inspire a sense of global citizenship. The set includes 5 citrines from around the world, an official Crystalworks folder with information cards, and grid guidelines. Due to the infinitely creative nature of our Earth, every crystal is slightly different. Each crystal weighs approximately 20-30g and is 1-2 inches. Please note the plexiglass stand is for display only. Brazil: This lightly coloured double terminated point has striated markings along the edge which is indicative of a Lemurian crystal. Madagascar: Both the polished point and mini sphere from this locale display a luminous clarity and golden hue. Congo: This natural point has a deep golden-brown colour and is drilled, making it possible to be worn as a pendant. South Africa: This 'cactus' crystal appears citrine in colour due to a natural coating of goethite, which also causes an iridescent rainbow effect..
“Citrine; Leo, Libra, Gemini, & Aries; Vibrates to #6. “Merchant’s stone”, never needs cleansing, yin/yang, optimism, enhance body, breastplate, survival, laugh, solutions, disorders of digestion, blood circulation, degeneration.”
