Citrine is the yellow gem that almost everyone is familiar with. The color of Citrine can range from a pale pastel yellow to a strong orangey-yellow.

Natural Citrine is quite rare; most of the stones on the market are heated from Amethyst to produce their yellow colors. Lemon Citrines are commonly irradiated and heated to produce their colors.

Citrine is a member of the Quartz family which also includes Amethyst and Rock Crystal. Given its abundance, Quartz has been used in jewelry for thousands of years. From Agate talismans, to Rock Crystal carvings to Amethyst rings – it has been a popular choice.

Citrines have long been confused with Topaz. However, both gems are November birthstones. Citrine also celebrates the 13ᵗʰ anniversary.
