This is super amazing.

Norway's photogenic "Dragon's Eye" likely formed around 20,000 years ago, when all of Scandinavia sat beneath an enormous mass of ice called the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet.

Natural citrine and citrine generally refer to the same gemstone, but there is a distinction between natural and heat-treated citrine.

Natural Citrine:
Natural citrine is a variety of quartz that obtains its yellow to brownish color through natural processes. This coloration is often caused by the presence of trace amounts of iron in the crystal.
Natural citrine is relatively rare, and its color can vary from pale yellow to a deep amber or brownish hue.
Some natural citrine may have a slightly cloudy or smoky appearance, which is a characteristic of certain quartz formations.

Heat-Treated Citrine:
Heat-treated citrine is created by heat-treating amethyst or smoky quartz. Amethyst, when subjected to high temperatures, can turn into citrine, and the resulting color is often a vibrant yellow or orange.
The heat treatment is commonly used in the gemstone industry to produce citrine with a more uniform and appealing color. Many of the citrine gemstones available in the market have undergone this treatment.
Heat-treated citrine may have a more consistent color compared to natural citrine.

It's essential to note that both natural and heat-treated citrine are considered genuine forms of the gemstone. When purchasing citrine, it's advisable to check with the seller for information on whether the stone is natural or has undergone any treatments.

Making an ankle bracelet (anklet) can be a fun and creative DIY project. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a basic beaded anklet:

Materials Needed
Beads: Choose beads of your preference. You can use glass, plastic, wooden, or metal beads.
Beading wire or elastic cord: Depending on whether you want a stretchy or a non-stretchy anklet.
Crimp beads (if using beading wire).
Clasp and jump rings (if using beading wire).
Scissors or wire cutters.
Needle-nose pliers (if using beading wire).

Instructions
Using Elastic Cord (Stretchy Anklet)
Measure the Length: Measure around your ankle to determine the length of the cord. Add an extra inch for tying knots.
Cut the Cord: Cut the elastic cord to the desired length.
String the Beads: Begin stringing your beads onto the elastic cord. You can create a pattern or string them randomly.
Tie the Knot: Once all the beads are strung, tie a secure knot at the end. You can tie a double or triple knot for added security.
Hide the Knot: If possible, hide the knot inside one of the beads to give a cleaner finish.
Trim the Excess: Cut off any excess cord.
Using Beading Wire (Non-Stretchy Anklet)
Measure the Length: Measure around your ankle to determine the length of the wire. Add an extra inch for attaching the clasp.
Cut the Wire: Cut the beading wire to the desired length.
Attach the Clasp: Thread a crimp bead onto one end of the wire, then add one part of the clasp. Loop the wire back through the crimp bead and use pliers to crimp it securely.
String the Beads: Begin stringing your beads onto the wire.
Finish the End: Once all the beads are strung, add another crimp bead and the other part of the clasp. Loop the wire back through the crimp bead and a few beads before crimping it securely.
Trim the Excess: Cut off any excess wire.

Tips
Choose Your Beads: Consider using a combination of different sizes, shapes, and colors of beads to create an interesting design.
Spacer Beads: Use smaller spacer beads to add variety and texture to your anklet.
Charms: Add small charms to your anklet for a personalized touch.
Secure Knots: Ensure all knots are tied securely to prevent the anklet from breaking.
Use Crimp Covers: If using crimp beads, you can add crimp covers to hide the crimp beads and give a polished look.

With these steps, you can create a beautiful and custom ankle bracelet that suits your style!

Peridot is a gemstone that belongs to the olivine mineral group. It is known for its vibrant green color and is often associated with feelings of abundance, prosperity, and good luck.

Peridot is typically green in color, ranging from a light yellow-green to a deep olive-green. Its color is caused by the presence of iron in its crystal structure. The intensity and shade of green can vary depending on the iron content.

Peridot has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable for everyday wear. However, it is important to handle peridot with care to avoid scratches or damage, as it is not as hard as other gemstones like diamonds or sapphires.

Peridot is also the birthstone for the month of August and is often used in anniversary jewelry to celebrate the 16th year of marriage.
