Citrine?

[MINE!!]

Ok.. time to start looking into another project. Am I to understand that citrine can come in an orangy color and that this would be an inexspensive alternative to a garnet for a large pendant? Ideas anymore? Comments?

Here''s a linky to get you started.

Ah yes.. Thank you Matata... wonderful place to start.

The search is ON!!

One of the PS vendors (diamondexpert) has a 2.605 ct. citrine available -- concave cushion cut. Described as medium slightly yellowish orange.

Found these "honey/red" zircon that look brownish orange on my monitor. First one is 3.94 c

 

[Matata]

This one is 4.68 c

30.06c citrine. You''d need to wear a neck brace with the pendant!

How about a 4.56 (9.5mm) crysoberyl?

I don''t know why crysoberyl''s aren''t more popular... they''re as hard as sapphires (I think) and have a ton of dispersion! This one is said to have "orange flash"! LINK


You said "large" pendant...

28.1 ct, 17 x 22 mm Citrine. LINK

Second this !

Zircon is very nice - if you can find a yellow one eve better: since it can give away so much fire, light colors work best. The darker (red-ish and green) are a different variety than the light white-yellows and not as brilliant by nature.

Just in case your orange ring might allow company

If crysolbeyl is neglected, zircon is almost forgotten - again, no idea why. It used to be somewhat more popular as a (not very convincing) diamond substitute, but how often have you heard of natural zircon ?

prior to getting myself educated a bit re stones, i thought zircons were all just manufactured fakes. confusion with zirconia?!
