Citrine

Warmth and intention in a stone built by heat.

Citrine is the yellow-to-orange variety of quartz, colored by trace iron. The critical piece: natural citrine is genuinely rare. The vast majority of "citrine" sold at ordinary retail prices is heat-treated amethyst from Brazil, which turns yellow or orange above roughly 470 degrees Celsius. True unheated citrine exists but commands a premium and comes with provenance documentation. We'll tell you honestly what each piece is.
