Citrine is any quartz crystal or cluster that is yellow or orange in color, and was named for the French word for lemon..citron. Found in its natural state it is often cut as a gemstone, but natural Citrine is actually rare. Most of the Citrine found on the market today is simply Amethyst which has been heat treated. (Amethyst will turn yellow when heated at high temperatures between 878 and 1,040ºF, or 470 and 560ºC).
