What it makes
Pyramids are used for pendants, spike necklaces, earrings. Measured base by height, e.g. 9x15mm; usually drilled drilled across the base. More about pyramids.
Cider orange at one end, cool lemon at the other.
On the strand, Madeira citrine reads like cider held up to a lamp, orange-brown and warm at the core, with the little facet flats catching light along the drill line. Lemon quartz sits at the other end of the family: a cool, clean yellow, closer to the peel than the juice. People reach for both because the color carries across a room without turning heavy, and because quartz at Mohs 7 takes daily wear without much thought.
In crystal tradition, citrine carries a second name: the merchant's stone. The name points toward trade and prosperity, and those who keep the tradition like to have a piece somewhere near their work rather than shut away in a drawer. What the stone is said to bring the wearer follows from that, a sense of good fortune in dealings and exchange. Along with topaz, citrine is a birthstone for November, which is why so much of it turns up in autumn gifts. It is also the gem given to mark a thirteenth wedding anniversary. Believe as much or as little of that as you like; the color is reason enough to wear it.
