Citrine is a transparent, yellow variety of Quartz, ranging in color from pale to golden yellow, honey, or almost brown. It may contain rainbow or sparkle inclusions and exhibits a vitreous luster. Much of the commercial Citrine on the market is heat-treated Amethyst or Smoky Quartz to achieve an enhanced Citrine color, usually a deeper amber or orange-reddish shade. Natural Citrine is typically a pale yellow color.
