Citrine
Home
Citrine is a variety of quartz, ranging in colors of yellow, yellow-brown, orange, dark orange-brown, reddish-brown. Citrine crystals can also form together with amethyst or smoky quartz to form a bi-colored quartz called Ametrine.
Almost all citrine that is available on the market today is heat-treated amethyst. Natural citrine is pale yellow to pale orange, much lighter than the heat-treated material which is dark orange-brown to reddish-brown. All the heat treated material has red tint, while natural citrine does not. When cut and polished, citrine is a beautiful gemstone.
