Citrine

Item Description

Often times, one encounters Citrine gems on the market that were heated to turn them yellow. Typically these stones start out as natural Amethyst and are altered to create the yellow color. This stone is a good example of said material. Now there are hundreds of thousands of heated Citrine gems on the market, and they are completely accepted by dealers and collectors, so long as the buyer knows they are buying a heated stone. With that said, this is good sized sonte, with wonderful color saturation. It is virtually eye clean with a "Step Square Cushion" cut.
