What is Citrine?
The Quartz family of gems and minerals brings us such fabulous stones as amethyst, rose quartz, smoky quartz, and the sunshiny selection of citrines. Citrine ranges in hue from nearly clear, to champagne, to lemon, to rich orange to amber - a sunburst of transparent opulence! With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, citrine is ideal for faceting into gemstones that reflect and refract light in a dazzling way. In nature, citrine forms in prismatic crystals, often terminated with pyramidal ends. Most of the world's citrine is mined in Brazil, and this brilliant gemstone has become a favorite of jewelers and jewelry collectors alike.

The faceted ovals of citrine featured in this pair of handcrafted earrings represent the pure, pale variety of this gem stone, with just a hint of lemony zest. It is one of the birthstones of November and is almost unsurpassed in its icy appeal!

Yellow Gemstones Are Rare in Our World
Diamonds and sapphires have been discovered in certain mines in yellow tones, but they are rare and extremely costly. Fortunately, even jewelry fans with a modest judgment can add yellow to the spectrum of their gemstone jewelry collection when they procure topaz or citrine jewelry. It's nice to know that we can satisfy our craving for shimmering yellows with this small, pleasing selection of gemstones. Citrine delights lovers of sunshine, bright birds and golden treasures.

Cultural Symbolism and the Color Yellow
When you reach for a pair of citrine earrings like the ones shown here, it may be that you are reaching out for a symbol of something important to your culture. Color symbolism is a school of thought that teaches that people from different cultures associate different colors with different objects and ideas.

Depending upon where you live, yellow may symbolize joy, hope, sunlight, idealism, wealth, summertime, the air or friendship to you. Think about yellow. What symbols come to mind? For you, it may bring up thoughts of sunrise, comfort, a harvest moon or, even, yellow traffic lights! Different women emote naturally to different gem stones, and it may be that color symbolism has much to do with this.
