Gemological point: From the Latin “citrus” referring to the lemon for its colour. Citrine is therefore a yellow quartz, just as amethyst is a violet quartz. The colour of this stone can vary from lemon yellow to orange-brown, this is caused by the presence of iron (ferric hydroxides) in the stone. Natural citrine is particularly rare and is found in Madagascar, the Urals and Uruguay.
