Learning about Stones

Since the aquamarine, I have been reading up on gemstones. Beside turquoise colour the next interesting colour to add on would be the yellow stone. I prefer the Bright banana yellow for it's cheerful and sunny disposition. This colour can match with the beige and brown clothings. It'll also look fine with black and purple just like the turquoise. For yellow stones the choices include Sphene, Sapphire, Yellow diamond, Yellow Topaz, Golden Beryl, yellow citrine and yellow zircon. Sapphire and yellow diamond are the most expensive. Sphene comes next in terms of price. It's brilliancy is just below diamond. Yellow Topaz is more expensive than citrine. Unscrupulous dealers may sell citrine as yellow topaz. Golden Beryl is in the same family as aquamarine. However, golden Beryl often has a greenish tint. I believe buying a stone involves affinity. While we choose the stone, the stone also chooses us too.
