Golden Citrine 6mm Round Rose-Cut Cabochon

This round golden citrine cabochon features a stylish rose cut that accentuates the attractive deep gold color. The cut of the gemstone is well-suited to vintage-style designs; its color is nicely complemented by settings of yellow gold or highly oxidized white metal. Golden citrine has a highly sought-after, deeply saturated light- to medium-gold color. Citrine is one of the birthstones for November. Citrine, although often mistakenly referred to as topaz, belongs to the quartz family. The yellow color of this gemstone is due to the presence of iron in the trigonal crystal structure. Named for its bright citrus color, citrine can present a range of yellow hues, from pale yellow to deep brownish gold. Though gemstone-quality citrine is rare, Rio Grande offers the highest quality citrine available. According to folklore, citrine conveys the power of the sun. A favorite of yesteryear, this rose-cut faceting features a flat base (no pavilion) and a crown made up of triangular facets.
