Addition # 7 - This is in refractive indexes 1.54 (79.9%) to 2.20 (91.9%) with no changes. Why the name? Well, I was helping raise and train a Guide Dog for the Blind puppy named Jill (a white lab). One day (she was 3 months old) I was sorting some rough Citrine crystals and one bounced on the floor where she was playing.
