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.
Why You Will Love This Gemstone
💎 Geometric Faceting
The precise pixel cut creates a sharp, modern appearance that behaves differently under direct illumination than standard round or oval cuts.

With a hardness standing at seven on the Mohs scale, this material resists everyday scratching well enough for regular ring or pendant use.
🔷 Versatile Yellow Shade
The bright yellow colour works exceptionally well in both warm yellow gold settings and contrasting cool white precious metals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact measurements of this Yellow Citrine?
This stone measures 26 x 13.2 x 10.8 mm and weighs 26.9 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How well does this stone handle daily ring wear?
Quartz holds up adequately for regular daily use in rings and pendants. You should still store it separately from harder gemstones to prevent surface scratches over time.
What metal colour pairs best with this yellow hue?
Yellow gold deepens the warm appearance of the citrine, while white gold or platinum provides a crisp, modern contrast that makes the pixel faceting stand out.
How does the pixel cut affect light reflection?
The flat, square facets create broad flashes of light rather than the traditional pinpoint sparkle. This gives the material a unique geometric visual style.
How does citrine compare to yellow sapphire?
Citrine offers a much more accessible way to achieve a bright yellow look, though sapphire sits higher on the hardness scale for heavy daily abuse.
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.
