You can layer them or use them to surround figurines or other display pieces, too. With all of the colors and variation available in gemstone chips, there is almost always a complementary or accent color that will suit your personal style, Southwestern or otherwise.

The Great Citrine Controversy
Citrine and amethyst and smoky quartz are all forms of quartz that form under very similar conditions. The difference between citrine and amethyst is the degree of heat applied during natural formation. If it’s too cool, you get amethyst. If it gets to a certain degree, citrine is formed. Smoky quartz is formed when irradiation happens naturally.
What does this mean for consumers? It means, because we have technology that can irradiate or heat stones, there are fakes out there (if you consider fakes to be a stone altered through an technological means). There are also forms of quartz that are completely synthetic and very colorful. Sometimes the yellower version of these synthetic quartz stones are passed off as citrine.
