Natural Citrine Crystals - Not Heated Amethyst
Citrine tumbled stones from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The colour of natural citrine can vary depending on where it was mined. Although often believed to be yellow, the colour can vary from a pale yellow to orange to almost brown.
Most people's perception of citrine is likely to come from seeing heated amethyst.
When heated, amethyst turns yellow before turning yellowish-orange and then brown. Stones often have a burnt-orange colour and opaque white quartz is common. Colour zoning, a typical characteristic of amethyst, remains visible even after the stone has been heated.
The shade of colour of these natural citrine crystals varies from piece to piece. Being translucent, their true colour is best appreciated when the stone is held up to the light.
These citrine crystals are smaller-sized tumbled stones, but size can vary from piece to piece.
