Gemstone Information - Citrine
Citrine (smoky quarz) is any quartz crystal or cluster
that is yellow or orange in color. Citrine is another mood elevator
and iis worn as agrounding stone. it overcomes depression and other
negative emotions. Also, it is the birthstone of Novemeber.
Critrine is often cooked at high temperatures to produce
the more profitable orange yellow citrine. Citrines whose colors have
been produced by artificial means tend to have much more of an orange
or reddish caste than those found in nature, which are usually a pale
yellow. Much of the natural citrines may have started out as amethyst
but heat from nearby magmatic bodies may have caused the change to citrine.
Interestingly, a popular gemstone on the market is a mixture of half
amethyst and half citrine and is given the name ametrine.
