Description of citrine and a brief history of the stone
Citrine is a type of quartz that has a bright yellow, lemon or orange hue. When heated, it tends to change color to a more saturated one. It is rare in nature, and therefore it is often counterfeited with other types of quartz if it is amenable to artificial heat treatment.

Today, citrine is mined in Russia, Brazil, the USA, Italy, Uruguay, and Madagascar. Depending on the color and deposit, as well as the amount of iron, lithium and other elements in the mineral, it is divided into several main types: palmyra, sierra, oriental, Spanish topaz and others.
