Citrine

Citrine is November's birthstone. It is a variety of quartz with colors ranging from pale yellow to brown. It's nearly impossible to tell cut citrine from yellow topaz visibly. Citrine has ferric impurities and is rarely found naturally. In fact most commercial citrine is artificially heated. Here are some citrine/citrine inspired handmade items.
