HYDROTHERMAL CITRINE SYNTHETIC ROUND CUT

ROUND CUT HYDROTHERMAL SINTHETIC CITRINE
Hydrothermal citrines are synthesized at relatively low temperatures and at high pressures from a seed crystal and an enriched solution of SiO2.
The optical and physical characteristics of hydrothermal quartzes do not vary from those of natural quartz. Only slight parallel growth lines can be seen inside the crystals and, rarely, some bubbles.
Our hydrothermal stones are characterized by having a perfect cut finish and a very good final polishing, so they offer a high quality shine.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HYDROTERMAL QUARTZ:
Refractive Index (I.R.): 1,544-1,553
Hardness (Mohs): 7.0
