About Yellow 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 Yellow Citrine?
This stone measures 13.4 x 13.4 x 12.9 mm and weighs 12.5 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
What type of setting is best for this fancy cut?
A custom bezel or a well secured multi prong setting will protect the unique edges and corners of this shape. Your jeweller can advise on the most secure mounting for your chosen design.
Is this stone suitable for a daily wear ring?
Yes, quartz is durable enough for regular ring wear provided it is set properly and protected from harsh knocks against hard surfaces. Routine checks by a jeweller will keep the prongs secure.
How does citrine compare to yellow topaz?
Citrine offers a more accessible way to achieve a bright golden colour with great clarity. It is also generally less dense than topaz and has a different crystal system.
How should I clean this quartz jewellery?
Warm soapy water and a soft brush will safely remove everyday oils and dust from the pavilion facets. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and dry with a lint free cloth.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
