Citrine, Birthstone for November

Citrine is a transparent, yellow variety of Quartz, ranging in color from pale to golden yellow, honey or almost brown, and may contain rainbow or sparkle inclusions. The name comes from the French word Citron, meaning lemon.

Citrine is found in a quartz geode, lined with a bed of crystals pointing inwards. The crystals usually form as six-sided prisms with a pointed top. Natural coloured Citrine is becoming quite rare these days and therefore rather expensive. A lot of Citrine available today, is heat treated Amethyst.
