5 out of 5 starsEarrings match perfectly with pendant. Great customer service, excellent quality and fast shipping. Wearing this crystal allows you to lead the citrine properties with you wherever you go, potentially connecting you with the light. When you are wearing a piece of jewelry with a citrine stone, it attracts the energy and brings it inside and outside your body. Not just for yourself but it applies to all the people surrounding you that are close physically to you.

Our view at Prospecting Arizona
Prospecting Arizona was created by an Arizona State Geology Major and fueled by our love of beautiful rocks.
We are a family owned business built around our love of beautiful and interesting rocks and minerals.
Most of our vacations have an aspect of rockhounding, including a trip to Australia where we searched for sapphires in Queensland. We are fortunate to live in Arizona where there are so many great rocks to be found, if you know what to look for and where to find them. One of our owners is a geologist with an eye for finding great stones and interesting locations to find them.
We personally find most of the stones that we sell in our shop.
Our cabochons are made by our hands, here in Arizona. We do not outsource and take great pride in our cabochons. Originally, we only sold cabochons on Etsy!
We learned how to cut and polish stones, turning them into cabochons in 2016. Although it is time consuming, we find making a beautiful cabochon very rewarding. Our shop includes a CabKing grinder, 6” trim saw, 12” slab saw, faceting machine and other lapidary equipment.
We continue to expand our business. Currently we are working on polishing large petrified wood specimens, expanding our knowledge of jewelry making and geology.
