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.
