About Honey Citrine as a Gemstone
Citrine is the yellow to orange variety of quartz, coloured by traces of iron. Natural citrine is uncommon, and a large share of commercial material is produced by heating amethyst, which shifts the violet toward golden and orange tones. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Citrine forms in the same silica-rich hydrothermal environments as other macrocrystalline quartz, filling cavities and veins. Where amethyst and citrine occur in the same crystal the result is ametrine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Honey Citrine?
This stone measures 21.5 x 11.7 x 9 mm and weighs 16.2 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How does citrine compare to yellow topaz?
Citrine belongs to the quartz family, while topaz is a distinct and harder mineral species. Both offer warm yellow hues, but citrine is more widely available in larger sizes.
Is this stone suitable for an engagement ring?
Yes, quartz works well in daily jewellery when given a protective setting like a bezel. Your jeweller can advise on mounting styles that shield the girdle from direct knocks.
How should I clean this gemstone at home?
Use warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove surface oils from the pavilion facets. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
Will the colour fade in sunlight?
Natural and coloured quartz generally holds its colour under normal lighting conditions. However, avoid prolonged exposure to intense artificial heat or direct sun.
Will I receive the exact stone shown in the photos and video?
Yes. Each listing covers one individual stone, and the media on this page was shot from that stone. Once it sells, the listing comes down.
