Description
Originating in Brazil, Bolivia, Tanzania, Namibia and Zambia, natural citrine is quite rare. Most citrine is actually amethyst that has been heat-treated to alter its color. This type is more plentiful. Citrine is an alternative birthstone for the month of November. It is often used in conjunction with feng shui, placed in the southeast corner of a home or office, to welcome abundance, prosperity, and positivity. When given as a gift it is a symbol of hospitality, friendship, hope and happiness. It is a durable gemstone that cuts well for jewelry and when clear of inclusions it will sparkle evenly across the gemstone.
