MSP06 Mineral Specimen: Citrine Specimen 2
| Product Code: MSP06 | | Description: |
This large specimen is approximately: 11.0 cm x 9.0 cm x 7.0 cm thick and weighs 1430 grams.
The name Citrine is derived from its lemon yellow colour. The colouring agent is iron. Natural citrines are rare. Most citrines are heat-treated amethysts or smoky quartzes. Brazilian amethyst turns light yellow at 878 degrees F and dark yellow to red-brown at 1022 - 1040 degrees F (550 - 560 degrees C). Some smoky quartzes turn into citrine at about 390 degrees F.
Almost all heat-treated citrines have a reddish tint. The natural citrines are mostly pale yellow. Names for citrine such as Bahia, Madeira, or Rio Grande topaz are improper and no longer accepted in the trade as they are deceptive.
Deposits of natural-coloured citrines are found in Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States, as well as Argentina, Burma, Namibia, Russia, Scotland and Spain.
