What is a Citrine?
Citrine is a variety of quartz. It is transparent and appears in a color range from yellow to brownish orange. It is rare to find in nature and when it is, it has often been confused for topaz. Most citrine that is used in jewelry today has been heat-treated to achieve its attractive yellow color.
The History of Citrine
Quartz gemstones have been treasured and used in jewelry throughout history. However, because natural citrine is rare, its history is less documented than that of many other popular gemstones.
Some Victorian-era jewelry pieces contain citrine, suggesting these gemstones may have been cherished for hundreds of years. However, earlier generations may not have distinguished between citrine and topaz, so its early history remains somewhat unclear.
