Citrien – Gebrande Amethist Geluksflesje uit China
Citrine
Citrine is a yellow to orange variety of quartz and derives its colour from traces of iron in the crystal lattice. The natural form is rare and appreciated for its warm, transparent appearance. Its colour can range from pale yellow to deep amber.
Citrine is found in Brazil, Madagascar, Russia and the United States, among others. Its chemical formula is SiOâ‚‚, and it crystallises in the trigonal system. Citrine has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale. An important distinction is made between natural citrine and citrine created by heating amethyst or smoky quartz. This so-called "burnt amethyst" often has a darker orange or reddish-brown colour, and we always explicitly indicate which variant it is.
