 New Shipments in Geode Tables, Cathedrals, Wings, Hearts and Jewelry 


 Citrine is our colorful birthstone for the month of November. Citrine, not unlike Fall leaves is pale yellow to orange brown, to root beer like deeper hues. So lets cozy up to citrine with its warm earth tone colors to bring into our décor and fashion jewelry. To help you with finding the right piece of citrine Touchstone Gallery offers many choices in citrine in carved hearts, wonderful geode tables on hand crafted metal stands, geode butterfly wings, and faceted jewelry. 
Metaphysical properties: Abundance, prosperity, things that are related to the harvest this time of year.
About: Natural citrine is rare when found in nature. It is a type of crystalline quartz that may have started as amethyst. You may ask why would you turn amethyst to citrine? Well, like all things we like to have variety. So we take amethyst and heat treat it to change amethyst to citrine. It is still a natural mineral, just that we have speeded up the process by a few million of years of climactic forces on the mineral. 
Care: Since citrine is essentially quartz it is a hard mineral and makes wonderful faceted jewelry.  Clean your citrine jewelry with warm water, mild detergent and soft brush. 
Source: Brazil is the leading producers of citrine but can be found in other areas of the world like Bolivia; Democratic Republic of the Congo; Madagascar; Mexico; Myanmar; Namibia; Peru; Russia; South Africa; United States; Zambia.
