Lemon Quartz
A Brief Introduction To Citrine Wholesale Jewelry by Lofei
Citrine is the stone for the month of November. Many people have come to know and love this stone under the name gold topaz, although in actual fact it has very little in common with the higher-quality gemstone topaz. However, the citrine is a member of the large quartz family, a family which, with its vary of multiple colors and various structures, offers gemstone lovers almost everything their hearts desire in terms of adornment and decoration, from absolutely clear rock crystal to black crystal.
The name is derived from the color – the yellow of the lemon – , although the most sought-after stones have a clear, radiant yellowish to brownish red. Like all crystal quartzes, the citrine has a hardness of 7 on scale and is thus, to a certain extent, insensitive to scratches. There are not many yellow gemstones in the world of jewels. A diamond or a sapphire may be yellow but those will be expensive. However, the citrine fulfils everyone’s color wishes, from lemon yellow to reddish brown.
The rare sourcing it is, the nature yellowish quartz is seldom, when there are traces of iron in the silicon dioxide. The supply of Europe with sufficient raw material came just at the right moment, since until then it was really only the topaz which was known and used as a gold-colored gemstone, the yellow and brown crystal quartzes quickly became very popular among the ladies, they were also found in step and table cuts as cuff-links and rings in the evening wardrobe of fine gentlemen. At the beginning, perhaps, the notion “it’s all on the surface” may have played a part. But there was no other stone to which the wrong name clung as doggedly as the citrine. Even now, jewelry enthusiasts with no specialist knowledge may be astounded when you tell them that their ‘gold topaz’ is a citrine instead of topaz at all.
So what is it that constitutes the difference between the real topaz and the citrine? A fluorine aluminum silicate in chemical terms, the topaz is considerably harder and heavier than quartz, and it has a higher refractive index, which endows it with more fire when the color is good. The color in which the citrine is most commonly found is yellow. However, most of the crystals were hardly a centimeter in diameter. You had to go to Siberia or Brazil to find crystals as large as your fist. The citrine is attributed with a cooling, styptic and appetizing effect. Since then, the citrine has been a rather exotic figure in the jewelry trade, and has been popular custom jewelry stylist used as a material of jewelry making, that is easily purchase through the wholesale jewelry supplier. The small round citrines are good choice to mix up with tiny diamond Hoop Earrings.
