Citrine Cut Stone, Octagon - 5 x 7mm

Citrine is always a transparent yellowy colour making it very easy to distinguish, it gets its vibrant colour from the oxidised iron in the stone. Deposits of this found can be found in Brazil, Madagascar, United states, Argentina, Burma, Namibia, Russia, Scotland and Spain. It is a very strong stone meaning it takes a lot for it to chip or break, making it one of the best stones for everyday wear.
