Purple to violet Amethyst
and yellow to orange Citrine are jewelry staples that continue to
increase in popularity. Ametrine combines the appeal of both Amethyst
and Citrine as well as both the purple and yellow in one bi-colored
gemstone. Other major colors include the brownish Smokey Quartz, pink Rose
Quartz and colorless rock Crystal Quartz. Different colors and types of
Chalcedony, including Agate, Bloodstone, Chrysoprase, Black Onyx have
grown in popularity with the growing appreciation for carved gemstones
and art cutting and carving. And unusual quartz specialties like Druzy Quartz,
with its surface covered by tiny sparking crystals, and Rutilated Quartz,
which has a landscape of shining gold needles inside, are adding variety
and nature's artistry to unusual one-of-a-kind jewelry.
