Citrine is the cheaper alternative birthstone for November. Most citrines are artificially colored quartz and natural color citrines are very rare. Citrine and amethyst are both from the quartz family only that the latter is much more abundant & cheaper.
Since quartz is one of the most common minerals in the world citrines can be found in almost every countries including The Philippines.
The color of citrines are mosty subdued yellow almost brown or brownish yellow to brown yellow. The highest prized citrines are a vivid pure golden yellow to golden orange but they are rarely found in natural colors.
Citrines are believed to be the most powerful gems to those who believe in the magic of crystals which is good news coz citrines being quartz are readily available at reasonable prices.
Because of the relatively affordable price of citrines it is one of the first gems mineral collectors or jewelry connoisseurs can own together with amethyst & blue topaz.

He addressed about his accomplishments & what are the most important things his administration should prioritize such as elimination of destructive mining, creating jobs, healthcare and the traffic problem as well as putting a stop on rebellion, insurgencies, terrorism and the passage of the death penalty bill. He also addresed the nation on those that needs further strenghtening such as the 'war on drugs', criminalities and corruption. But the truth is I don't really need to hear what he's done or continue to do and what he accomplished coz over 85% of the Filipino people felt the change he promised during the election & year after he sat into office we are satisfied with what he is doing to our country and we trust him that what he does and will do is
Miss World Philippines 2017 pageant night is tommorow and for the first time since 2011 this pageant doesn't have a sure winner coz there is at least 4 to 5 who can win the major title of Miss World Philippines 2017! The other 3 minor crowns are oh well minor & I can't even memorize what they are. The MWP has a new pageant director Arnold Vegafria a popular talent manager in The Philippines since Cory Quirino decided to let go of the Miss World Philippines franchise after she felt as well as the overwhelming majority thinks Catriona Gray was deliberately robbed from the Miss World 2016 pageant last year which caused the Miss World Organization to lose their appeal worldwide especially to the Filipinos.
