Did you know? Natural Citrine is not common, and most of the Citrine on the market is produced by heat treating Amethyst.
How do you tell the difference?
Treated Citrine -
- Is created by heating amethyst at a high temperature. Heat treated Citrines color will be yellow to orange tone concentrated at the tip with a white cap. Also, heat-treated Citrine will be crumbly and can break apart easily (heating the stones at the temps weakens the stability of the crystal). This does not mean treated Citrine is not good or you should not buy it. -The heat-treated citrine has a more energy after being heated.
Natural Citrine "gold topaz -
- Is naturally formed yellow Quartz crystal.
