Shapes you can only find in natural citrine — small but rugged chip beads:

Citrine that’s manufactured by humans is much more regular in shape:

    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
