Quality

Color, clarity, cut and origin are the four major quality-defining factors that should be checked carefully while purchasing a natural Citrine gemstone online or from a local supplier. Astrologically, a natural, untreated and unheated bright golden-yellow stone with good transparency is considered the best quality Citrine gemstone.

  • Origin

    Citrine Quartz mines are located in many countries including Bolivia, Russia, Madagascar, Myanmar, Brazil and the USA. Amongst all these origin varieties, Brazilian Citrine hold a good reputation because majority of Citrine gems coming from Brazilian mines bear good color and clarity. Some good quality material also comes from the African mining regions.

  • Color

    In the market, Citrine loose gemstones can be found in a plethora of shades which are traded using special names such as ‘Lemon Quartz’, ‘Lemon Citrine’, ‘Smoky Citrine Quartz’, ‘Lemon Green Citrine’, deep reddish yellow ‘Madeira Citrine’ and ‘Champagne Citrine’ etc. We always suggest our customers not to get fascinated by the fancy names and always go for a natural bright yellow to slight golden yellow Citrine with uniform consistency and medium saturation. For astrological use, Citrine stone with brownish tints should be avoided.

  • Clarity

    Citrine is classified as a Type I clarity gem which means they are expected to be nearly eye-clean. Natural inclusions such as negative crystals, two-phase inclusions, liquid inclusions and partially healed fractures can be found in the medium to low-quality stones. For astrological purposes, we always recommend buyers to prefer a transparent Citrine gemstone with minimum visible flaws.

  • Cut

    Citrine can be found in a wide range of shapes (round, oval, emerald, square, trillion, pear etc.) and cuts (princess cut, cushion cut, round). The selection of cut is mainly associated with the beauty and has nothing to do with the astrological properties of the gemstone. So, we can advise buyers to choose a shape that brings out best color and enhances the overall brilliance.

  • Carat weight

    Large size Citrine crystals are comfortably available in nature. Therefore, Citrine price per carat doesn’t increase exponentially for gems in the bigger size. However, in certain cases where the quality of Citrine is super fine, a slight difference in its per carat value can be observed.
