Citrine (heated)

Item Description

A large percentage of the faceted Citrine gems you will see on the market have been heated to turn them yellow. Originally these stones started out as natural Amethyst and through heating, the purple color will change to yellow. This is a good example of said material, as it was once Amethyst and then heated to turn it yellow. With that said, this stone is very good size, with great golden color saturation and attractive cutting. It is virtually eye clean with an "Emerald" cut. Very attractive in person, and certainly worth adding to a collection, or to be placed into a custom piece of jewelry.
