TOM STOPPARD<br />
In the 17th<br />
Century, Scottish<br />
weapon makers<br />
set dagger handles<br />
with citrine and<br />
the gemstone later<br />
became popular<br />
for traditional<br />
Scottish kilt pins<br />
and shoulder<br />
brooches<br />
105 tonnes – estimated amount of<br />
amber produced by Palaeogene forests<br />
of Northern Europe<br />
There is a sun, a light that for<br />
want of another word I can<br />

LARGEST FACETED<br />
GEMSTONE IN THE<br />
WORLD, THE<br />

The year fire opal deposits were<br />
found in Queretaro, Mexico<br />
The word 'electricity' comes from the Ancient Greek<br />
word for amber, elektron, for its ability to produce<br />
static electricity when rubbed<br />
Ancient Egyptians<br />
believed carnelian was<br />
the blood of the goddess<br />
Isis, and would place<br />
carnelian amulets upon<br />
the throats of dead bodies<br />
Citrine was known as "the<br />
money stone" or "the merchant's<br />
stone" in the Middle Ages, as<br />
it was believed it would bring<br />
wealth to whoever wore it<br />
Carnelian, garnet, yellow<br />
zircon, and citrine are<br />
all believed to have been<br />
embedded in the breastplate<br />
of the Biblical figure Aaron<br />
Many orange and yellow gemstones,<br />
including topaz and heliodor, were once<br />
believed to harness the power of the sun<br />
While inexpensive,<br />
natural citrine is<br />
remarkably rare; most<br />
commercially-available<br />
specimens are in fact<br />
heat-treated amethyst<br />
