Identified stones: Yellow

So many stones look alike that a little bit of help may be needed to identify exactly what you’re dealing with.

Bumble Bee Jasper

Distinctive yellow, orange, black, white banding on an opaque stone. One of my favourites!

Citrine

Clear, bright, transparent crystal. Heat-treated Citrine is bright orangey-yellow. Natural Citrine is much paler and/or greenier, and may show inclusions or swirls with rainbows.

Kundalini Quartz

Oily, greeny-yellowy-brown Congo Quartz. Often has small clusterlike configuration at base.

Green Ridge Quartz

Deep to pale yellow Quartz from the Green Ridge mountains.

Golden Healer Quartz

Included or fully yellow coloured Quartz from various sources.

Arkansas Golden Healer clusters

Celtic Golden Healer

Natural deep to pale yellow Quartz crystals from Wales.

Himalayan Golden Quartz

Rich, golden transparent crystals with inclusions. High vibration.

Golden Spirit Quartz

Drusy, spiky crystal coating to each crystal point with typical Quartz termination.

Golden Herkimer

Bright, sharp Herkimer Diamond with golden oilt inclusions

Rainbow Mayanite

Rainbow sheen over deep yellow Quartz.

Angel Aura/Opal Aura Quartz

Subtle yellow and other colours irridescent coating

Nubian Temple Quartz

Opaque ‘golden snow’ quartz collected from the temples of Aswan. Not many left in UK now but will be collecting again next time I go to Egypt. Potent stuff!
