The different colours of citrine

Citrine is available in a range of colours, from pale yellow to dark orange. The most valuable stones are those that are a deep golden colour.

Minerals in the quartz

The different colors of citrine are caused by the presence of different minerals in the quartz. For example, iron can create a yellow or orange colour, while manganese creates a pink or purple hue.

Heat treating

Citrine is often heat-treated to intensify its colour. This process is irreversible, and it is important to be aware of this before purchasing a citrine gemstone.

Heat-treated citrine has a deep, rich colour that is very popular in jewellery designs.
