Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Citrine forms when silica crystallizes in hydrothermal veins or pegmatites; its color is commonly associated with trace iron. The image does not establish the stone’s age or natural versus treated origin.

Uses & applications

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

Geological facts

Pale-yellow faceted stones can include citrine, yellow sapphire, topaz, or glass, which cannot be distinguished confidently from this image.

Field identification & locations

A clear close-up and tests of refractive index, hardness, and inclusions are needed for identification. Citrine is found in Brazil, Madagascar, and other quartz-bearing regions.
