yellow to a light orange-yellow. Most citrine on the market is heated amethyst
which may have been treated naturally by Mother Nature or may have been treated
by humans. Heated Amethyst, sold as
citrine, can range in colour from dark yellow to a dark red-yellow. Smokey quartz can also be treated to turn
yellow. According to minerals.net, all heat-treated “citrine” has a red tint.
Some very light natural Citrine can be sold under the name of “Lemon
Quartz”.
