November’s Birthstone at Lava Jewelry!

by micheledodge on November 2, 2007

Yes, indeed, it is already November, and Lava Jewelry has the perfect stone for those November birthdays – citrine!

Citrine is a type of quartz with a yellowish hue caused by iron (Fe3+) impurities. It is found as a secondary mineral in silica-rich volcanic rocks. It forms in quartz veins and in holes in the volcanic rocks (called vugs and amygdules).

Citrine is often heat-treated to make the yellow color more intense.

From mineralminers.com: “Citrine is said to be especially useful in stimulating one’s mental capacities, enhancing creativity & intuition and bolstering one’s self-confidence. It is also said to give emotional control while making one more alert. Citrine is also said to be very helpful in assisting one to acquire and maintain wealth.”
