💛✨ What are Citrine Freeform Nugget Beads?
These sunny beads feature genuine natural citrine in a freeform nugget shape.
About Citrine:
Citrine is a variety of quartz that gets its beautiful yellow to golden-orange color from trace amounts of iron within its crystal structure. The name comes from the French word "citron," meaning lemon, referring to its bright, citrus-like color. Natural citrine is relatively rare, found primarily in Brazil, Bolivia, Spain, and Madagascar. Much of the citrine on the market is actually heat-treated amethyst, but our citrine is genuine natural stone with authentic color and clarity. Citrine is the traditional birthstone for November and is associated with the zodiac sign of Scorpio. It is also the gemstone for the thirteenth wedding anniversary.
About the Freeform Nugget Shape:
The freeform nugget shape celebrates the stone's natural, organic origins. Each bead retains a unique, sculptural silhouette that highlights the stone's warm color and clarity. This shape offers a contemporary, earthy look that is both refined and distinctive.
Size Range:
These beads range from approximately 10-14mm in width and 12-20mm in length, offering organic variation that adds visual interest to any design.

Important Care Reminder:
