Citrine is a crystalline form of quartz. The iron content present at the time of formation gives it a slightly orange color. As the natural citrine in its pristine state is very hard to find, the commonly available citrine is usually made by heating amethyst or quartz crystals. Although the artificially created citrine might not be as beautiful as the real gem, it is surely worth a look. Resembling the yellow topaz in appearance, the commercially available citrine is mostly found in champagne yellow color.


Citrine gems can be used to make necklaces, bracelets, earring and rings. The fragile chips of these beautiful crystals make a wonderful accessory for floating necklaces. The sparkling yellow color of the citrine gems looks alluring when paired with other gems or beads of pastel colors.They also compliment the bold colors of amber, peridot, carnelian, cherry quartz and blue agate crystals very well. A few unconventional yet stunning combinations could be a result of teaming citrine beads with sunstone, aquamarine, fire agate or blue Brazil agate ...
... stones.


Besides their exquisite beauty and ornamental properties, citrine stones, like other precious or semi precious gemstones, are said to possess many spiritual powers. Citrine is considered to be the birthstone for people born in the month of November and is generally associated with fortune.
