Physical properties

Oval faceted, honey-brown stone with strong reflections. If citrine: Mohs hardness 7, vitreous luster, trigonal crystal system, no cleavage; color may range from yellow to brown-orange.

Formation & geological history

If natural citrine, it forms in silica-rich hydrothermal settings and pegmatites; quartz dates to many geological periods. Gem treatment or a non-mineral imitation cannot be ruled out from the photo.

Uses & applications

Faceted stones are used in jewelry and collections; citrine is also used decoratively.

Geological facts

A faceted appearance does not establish that a stone is natural or identify its mineral species.

Field identification & locations

Gemological testing is needed: inspect inclusions and refractive properties, and test hardness only on an inconspicuous area. The photo does not show diagnostic features or a locality.
