8mm Yellow Amethyst (Citrine) Natural Crystal Beads

15" strand of "citrine" crystal beads, 45-50 beads per strand.

Most citrine on the market is heat-treated amethyst. However amethyst and citrine have the same structural and chemical makeup. True citrine was heated by the earth to a higher temperature while it was still in its molten form. Heat-treated citrine mimics the same heat that the crystal would have experienced.
