Citrine Beads
Citrine beads are the transparent golden yellow variety of Quartz which is mined in Brazil, Madagascar, Russia and Spain. Natural Citrine deposits are found with Amethyst formations due to the earth's heat changing the purple quartz (amethyst) into a yellow quartz (citrine). Citrine derives its name from the french word `Citron` meaning yellow. Prized by gemstone collectors for its pure yellow color and transparent beauty, Citrine has been a favorite gem of royalty for centuries.
