The larger the chunk of raw citrine, the better! With such fine crystals as these that have a rich reddish brown hue it will be sure to stun.
Citrine quartz forms from amethyst that is heat treated either naturally or by man. Notable sources of rare, naturally-sourced citrine are Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Madagascar and Bolivia. Russia is one of the producers of synthetic citrine while Brazil is famous for its stunning heat-treated amethyst.
Citrine is one of the birthstones of November (the other being topaz).
