About Citrine

Citrine is one of the most popular gemstones available today. It belongs to the very large family of quartz gemstones along with amethyst. Citrine is the yellow to golden-orange variety of gemstone-quality macrocrystalline quartz. The name ‘citrine’ was derived from ‘citron’, a French word meaning ‘lemon’, although its color tends to be more golden rather than lemon-yellow.

Natural citrine is actually quite rare and because it is more valuable than most other varieties of quartz, much of the citrine today is actually heat-treated to obtain its attractive golden color. Almost all heated citrine will exhibit reddish tints. Citrine is very closely related to violet-purple amethyst. The only difference between citrine and amethyst is the oxidation level of iron ions present in colourless quartz crystal. When quartz is heated, iron impurities are reduced, resulting in less violet-purple color and more golden to orange colors. Ametrine is the natural bicolor combination of both golden citrine and violet amethyst in a single specimen.

About Topaz

Topaz in its pure form it is colorless. Impurities cause variations in color. It has a history that goes back at least two thousand years. The use of topaz goes back to Egyptian times when the ancient Egyptians believed that yellow topaz received its golden hue from the Sun God, Ra. The word “topaz” could also have stemmed from the Sanskrit in India, “tapas”, which means “fire”. Like Citrine it is often used in November Birthstone Jewellery.
