Citrine (10-stone set)

Item Description

Citrine is the yellow (or golden) variety of Quartz, which has been known for thousands of years, but it's actually quite rare in nature. I will point out that the vast majority of the Citrine gems (and specimens) you'll find on the market started out as Amethyst. These stones were heated to over 500° C in order to turn them from purple to yellow. Here we have a lovely 10-stone set of "Emerald" cut Citrines that were heated to create the rich honey-gold color. A very attractive hue, and these gems would make for a nice pendant or bracelet, or as accenting stones to a larger gem.
