Citrine is a variety of quartz colored by trace elements that produce warm yellow to amber hues. It typically forms as well-formed crystals in drusy or vein quartz, often with a vitreous lustre and transparent to translucent appearance. Collectors prize its sunny coloration and classic hexagonal prismatic habit, with notable material from Brazil, Madagascar, and parts of the United States, as well as other producing regions.

About Citrine
In specimen cabinets, citrine can be found as single crystals, clusters, or banded agate-silica textures, sometimes cut as faceted stones for jewelry. Although commonly associated with heat-treated amethyst, natural citrine occurs and is distinguished by softer color zoning and a lighter saturation. The countries listed for notable specimens—Russia, Mexico, Brazil, USA, and South Africa—highlight its broad geographic presence and the variety of crystal forms that collectors seek.
Collectors value citrine for its cheerful color, relative abundance, and versatility in display, with favorites being well-formed crystals that show clear clarity and lustrous surfaces.
