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 17 mm diameter x 13.2 mm depth and weighs 29 carats. Those figures are taken from the stone itself, not estimated from a category average.
How does this stone handle daily wear?
Quartz resists scratching from normal household materials quite well. Your jeweller can set it securely into rings or pendants designed for regular, everyday use.
What setting style works best?
A traditional four or six prong head allows maximum light to enter the pavilion facets. Alternatively, a secure bezel setting offers a sleek, modern finish.
How do I clean this quartz safely?
Warm soapy water and a soft brush will remove daily oils and dust from the pavilion facets. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth.
How does this compare to other yellow gems?
Citrine offers a distinct, warm yellow hue at a very accessible level of durability compared to softer organic or mineral alternatives on the market.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
