About the Mineral: Geological Characteristics
Citrine is a yellow to orange-yellow variety of quartz. Its color is due to the presence of iron ions within the crystalline structure. It has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. Citrine can form naturally, but it is quite rare. Most citrine on the market consists of heat-treated amethysts. Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, which also derives its color from iron ion impurities in the crystalline structure. When heating amethyst to temperatures between 300 °C and 500 °C, the iron ions oxidize, causing the loss of the purple color and the emergence of the yellow citrine color. Higher temperatures can create citrines with a more orange hue.
