citrine...

[larussel03]

better for neckaces or rings? Is it too soft to be set as a ring? I found a 1.5 ct citrine that would prob make a lovely ring but if its too soft then necklace is prob the best way to go..

Yellow or golden yellow quartz is called citrine. Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst or smoky quartz to form ametrine and bi-colored quartz.

hardness 7

would work for a ring but with everyday wear it may get a bit worn.

Maybe after the holidays I''ll have it made into a cutie right hand ring...I have a ruby diamond one but it lacks the funkyness this one has...

yeah I only had to pay $7 including shipping so if I dont like it it''s no biggie. I''ve never seen citrine in person, so I figured may as well order it and if I dont like it I''ll prob be able to find someone to give it to

There are tens of thousands of citrine quartz rings here in the United States. Many of them are worn on a daily basis. Yes, over time they may get worn and need repolishing or replacing but replacing a citrine will not damage your pocketbook at all.

Citrines come in several colors from light golden yellow to dark redish yellow. Most are not cut to bring out the maximum beauty but if you find one that is cut correctly it will be most beautiful.

All my citrine rings are scratched up? My pendants on the otherhand are in tip top shape.

I got the citrine and it is such a crisp clear light yellow...although it''s smaller than I pictured it would be. Now I wish I got 2. not sure what I''ll end up doing with it, but if I had two i''d have more options. I may email the seller to see if he has more...

Sweatpea, the citrine is beautiful! I''m not sure of the size from the picture, but if you are able to get another one that matches maybe you could have them set as drop earrings?
