Product details

Citrine is a bright and cheerful gemstone known for its warm, golden to orange hues. It’s a type of quartz that has been used as a gemstone for centuries. Here are some key points about citrine:

1. Color and Appearance: Citrine is named after its lemon-yellow color, reminiscent of the citrus fruit. It can range in color from pale yellow to deep golden orange. Some citrine may have a slightly reddish tint.
2. Natural and Heat-Treated Citrine: It’s important to note that most citrine on the market is actually heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz. Natural citrine is relatively rare, and most commercial citrine starts as amethyst or smoky quartz and is heated to achieve the vibrant yellow color.
3. Geological Origin: Natural citrine is found in various parts of the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, the United States, and parts of Africa. The color is often caused by trace amounts of iron in the quartz crystal structure.
