Citrine: the November stone 🙂

    Citrine is my favorite! I know I say that about everyone, but seriously – my FAVORITE! I use it in so many of my pieces as an accent. It goes with everything, kinda like chocolate 🙂

    I’m a huge fan of citrine…in fact one of the first bracelets I made for myself was a citrine bracelet made from large rough nuggets…I love it and wear it often!!!
    Cheers
