What is citrine and where does it come from?
Citrine is a variety of quartz that ranges in colour from yellow to orange. It is found in a number of locations around the world, including Brazil, Madagascar, and Russia. The name citrine comes from the French word for lemon, "citron".
A favourite of the Greeks and Romans
The stone was once used as a gemstone by the Greeks and Romans, and it is said to have a number of healing properties. Citrine is thought to promote creativity and self-expression, and it is also believed to bring good luck and abundance.
The different colours of citrine
Citrine is available in a range of colours, from pale yellow to dark orange. The most valuable stones are those that are a deep golden colour.
Minerals in the quartz
The different colors of citrine are caused by the presence of different minerals in the quartz. For example, iron can create a yellow or orange colour, while manganese creates a pink or purple hue.
Heat treating
Citrine is often heat-treated to intensify its colour. This process is irreversible, and it is important to be aware of this before purchasing a citrine gemstone.
Heat-treated citrine has a deep, rich colour that is very popular in jewellery designs.
Untreated citrine is less common, and it typically has a lighter, more pale colour.
