I majorly screwed up on this, because I completely forgot to take a before pic of the stone I had found. Super bummed about that! But, I'm ecstatic about how it turned out! I had first taken it up to the mining museum here, and every one was sure it was a topaz, including me! It even tested out at an 8 for hardness! But after the refraction test, it was determined to be a very hard piece of quartz! The two geologist's decided on citrine! 18 carats! Thanks for looking!!!!

Nice! I'd like to see one of those in bright yellow! But, that one is really nice, as it is.
