The sun is beating down here in Florida, so that means it's hot, hot, and hotter.

It occurred to me the other day that citrine resembles the sun. Maybe it was heat stroke, but don't you think?

At little info on citrine (other than it's my birthstone) from gemstone.org:

Citrine is one of the most affordable gemstones, thanks to the durability and availability of this golden quartz. Named from the French name for lemon,"citron," many citrines have a juicy lemon color.

Citrine includes yellow to gold to orange brown shades of transparent quartz. Sunny and affordable, citrine can brighten almost any jewelry style, blending especially well with the yellow gleam of polished gold.

In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts.
