Citrine

Item Description

Often times when one encounters faceted Citrine gems on the market, they 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 more than likely a heated gem that was once Amethyst. With that said, this stone is very good sized with, saturated color and excellent cutting. It is virtually eye clean with a "checkerboard cushion brilliant" cut.
