Citron, also know as Lemon Chrysoprase, is a lemon to light lime colored form of Chrysoprase. Citron (Lemon Chrysoprase) varies from AA grade (without any matrix material) to B grade (with brown to gold matrix webbing). Our Citron A is Light Lime Green in color with no Matrix material & our Citron w/ Matrix is a beautiful lemon yellow with brown to golden matrix webbing - Both are from South Africa.

Chrysoprase is one of the rarest and most valuable of the chalcedonies. Its green color comes from nickel; the color can fade, and in a moist environment may also recover. Larger broken pieces are often fissured with irregular colors. Chrysoprase often occurs as nodules or in crevices in nickel deposits.

Chalcedony is the cryptocrystalline variety of quartz, meaning the crystals are too small to even be seen by a microscope.

Tina & I have begun moving TMB Jewelry to it own location on the web at www.tmbjewelry.com so that our jewelry customers can find it a little easier than at the Spencer Lapidary site. We hope that everyone will like the new look and feel that we are trying to give TMB Jewelry's website. You can still see our jewelry at http://www.spencerlapidary.com/, but feel it tends to get a little lost in the rock shop. Please feel free to send us some comments on what you think!

Tina & I have also begun development work on new lines of jewelry that we really want to make including a line of hand stamped jewelry to go along with our healing stone mixes that we created. This new line will have everything from bracelets to rings that are hand stamped and can be fully personalized by YOU for YOU! We're very excited to be able to branch out and begin work that we have wanted to do for so long now.

Hope everyone had a safe Memorial Day weekend!

Best Regards - Tina & Mark Bennett
