The "Luminous Shadow Citrine Portal Pendant" is a testament to the marriage of artisan skill and the artistry of the earth. The pendant starts with a circular bail, designed for versatility, allowing it to be paired with various chains or cords.

Descending from the circular bail is a hammered sterling silver piece, its elongated rectangle shape recalling ancient tablets or mystical doorways. The hammered texture catches light from every angle, creating a dynamic surface that contrasts beautifully with the natural stone it presents.

Though the silver is hammered, it gleams with a high polish, mirroring the clarity and shine of the stone it holds, much like sunlight glistening on a calm sea.

The crown jewel of the pendant is a smoky citrine window quartz point. Known for its grounding properties and often sought for its ability to manifest intentions, this quartz point is a window into the soul, offering clarity and amplifying energy.
The smoky citrine quartz, with its windows and inclusions, invites the wearer to peer through the veils of reality to the truths that lie beneath. As it hangs freely, it also symbolizes movement and fluidity, the stone's natural beauty enhanced by the play of light through its unique structure.

In this design, the earthly robustness of the crystal stands in elegant juxtaposition to the crafted sheen of the metal, creating a pendant that is both grounding and uplifting.

Historical and Cultural Use:
Smoky citrine quartz is a relatively rare blend of two popular quartz varieties, each with extensive histories in spiritual and healing contexts. Citrine has been used since ancient times for its color that was associated with the sun and its life-giving energy, believed to bring prosperity and abundance. Smoky quartz was used for its grounding and protective properties. Together, they create a powerful tool believed to promote wealth while simultaneously protecting and grounding the individual.

Geological Properties:
Smoky citrine quartz is naturally irradiated quartz that contains traces of iron, which give it a unique color gradient from smoky gray or brown to the golden yellow of citrine. This gradient often appears in layers or as a blend within the crystal, making each piece uniquely beautiful. It forms in pointed crystals that are prized in the gemstone market for their clarity and luster.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Smoky citrine quartz combines the protective and grounding energy of smoky quartz with the uplifting and energizing qualities of citrine. This makes it an excellent stone for those seeking to stabilize their finances, enhance their career, or manifest new opportunities while staying emotionally balanced and protected from negativity. It is thought to foster self-discipline and willpower, aiding in overcoming fear and making positive life changes.

Collectibility and Use:
Due to its dual properties and rarity, smoky citrine quartz points are highly valued by crystal collectors and spiritual practitioners. These points are often used in energy work, meditation, and feng shui to attract abundance and provide psychic protection. In jewelry, smoky citrine quartz is popular in rings, necklaces, and pendants, where its unique coloration can be showcased.

Care and Maintenance:
As a variety of quartz, smoky citrine quartz points are quite durable but should be protected from scratches by harder materials. Cleanse with lukewarm soapy water and a soft brush, rinse thoroughly to remove soapy residue, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade its colors. It's recommended to store it separately from other gemstones to avoid scratches.
