Collection: LEMON QUARTZ

Lemon quartz is a member of the quartz family, a natural mineral consisting of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). The yellow color is derived from trace iron and natural radiation in the earth. Some pieces are gently heated to accentuate a deeper golden or yellow-green color, but it's common to find lemon quartz naturally occurring in this color.

Lemon quartz can also refer to a stone that has a slight hint of green and is known as Ouro Verde Quartz or Green Gold Quartz, but all will share the same general qualities; they are a crisp, glowing stone that represents clarity and confidence. 

With very high transparency and vitreous luster, the natural lemon quartz stones are normally faceted to create a beautiful sparkle, making jewelry emanate a golden glow that resembles sunlight bouncing off the glass.
