What is Citrine?
Citrine is a translucent to transparent yellow variety of quartz that is colored by iron impurities. It ranges in color from pale to golden yellow, honey or almost brown, and the deeper colored stones are generally more highly valued. The name citrine is derived from the Latin word citrina which means "lemon yellow" and is also the name of the fruit. Citrine occurs naturally in many parts of the world and is found in large deposits in Brazil, Bolivia, Madagascar, Russia, Spain and France. It is also found in smaller deposits in Scotland, Uruguay, Mexico, Namibia, Mozambique and Arizona. Much of the commercial citrine on the market today is actually heat-treated amethyst which turns yellow when heated.
