A transparent pale yellow, to brownish orange variety of quartz. Citrine is a rare gem in nature and is a result of heat treated amethyst. It is known to be the most popular and frequently purchased yellow gemstone.
Citrine is often referred to as the "merchant's stone" due to the belief that it would bring prosperity to its owners.
Scapolite is sometimes known as Wernerite, named after the German Geologist A.G Werner who discovered the gem.
It lies on the 5.5-6 Mohs hardness scale and although does prove not to be as hard as most gemstones one must take care of it when worn. When it is not being worn keep it inside a sealed pouch.
