Morels are a very highly sought after wild culinary mushroom. They are a favorite of foragers , who hunt them in spring. They can be sold for a relatively high price per pound , due to the fact that no one has cracked the art of cultivating them yet. Morels grow around the roots of decaying trees poking up through leaf litter and sprouting plants, which can make them quite difficult to spot, but when you do spot them, more often they become apparent, shining like little gold gems against the dark underbrush.

Citrine is a Champagne colored Quartz that is considered quite valuable due to its rarity and also due to a lot of it on the market being fake. The most known way Citrine is faked by heating Amethyst until it turned yellow. Some believe that this is identical to Amethyst, but Amethyst gets its color from Iron, while Citrine is believed to get it's color from Aluminum , making it much more closely related to Smoky Quartz. Citrine is associated with solar energy and confidence.
