Notes: From the rough you see in the photo, I cut this natural citrine from Uruguay. Its color is stunning—the most beautiful you can find in citrine, a deep orange. The cut is a very beautiful and intricate design that requires many hours of work. It’s called the “Arrowhead Pear” and is a design by Ian Brown. It has small inclusions and a colored area. It’s a spectacular gemstone for any piece of jewelry.
Gemological certificate included: with a photo of the rough crystal and the cutting diagram.
Citrine
Citrine is the yellow to orange variety of Quartz. Natural Citrine is not common; most Citrine on the gem market is produced by heat treating Amethyst and Smoky Quartz. It takes a relatively low temperature to change the color light to golden yellow, and heating to higher temperatures will give the stone a darker yellow to brownish-red color.
The name Citrine is derived from the citron fruit, a yellow fruit similar to the lemon. (In fact, citron means “lemon” in several languages.) Citrine is a very affordable gemstone, and all its color ranges are not expensive. It is most often confused with orange-yellow Topaz, which is very similar in color and body. Topaz is the more valuable gemstone, and dealers often sell Citrine labeled as Topaz. Several false trade names for Citrine are “Madeira Topaz”, “Gold Topaz”, and “Bahia Topaz”. However, some fine and rare Citrine gemstones have a pure yellow color that is rarely duplicated by golden Topaz.
Citrine is cut into all different types of gems, especially oval and rectangular cuts. It is a very popular pendant stone as flawless stones of many carats are not uncommon. It is used as a centerpiece for rings, and also for earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.
Citrine is one of the birthstones for November. The other is topaz.
