CITRINE     Gem Species:  QUARTZ     Hardness:  7     Density:  2.66     RI:  1.54
 as you know, virtually all Citrine is heat treated Amethyst. This is some rare unheated Citrine. You'll notice the color is slightly brown compared to heated goods. Very unusual and rare.

HELENITE (lab)     Gem Species:  SILICATE     Hardness:  5     Density:  2.4     RI:  1.49
 The Helenites we're offering on Auction are in an Optima Exclusive cutting shape called Tripod. These fit in trillion settings or work great with wire wrap. These are difficult to cut and therefore costly for us. Subsequently, we will no longer be cutting them, so the stock we have is probably all you'll ever see in the market. Our Reverse Auction gives you the opportunity to get one of these at a great price. In some of the sizes, we have more than one, so if you want a pair, we can do it.
