Citrine facts:

Citrine is a variety of quartz. This means that its colour ranges from yellow to brown due to ferric impurities. Ferric impurities mean that Citrine can have trace amounts of iron, uniformly scattered throughout the stone giving it its characteristic colours.

Citrine was first appreciated as a stone in Ancient Greece between 300 and 150 BC. The yellow quartz was used before that to decorate jewellery and tools but was not considered special. Citrine is considered a rare stone and is a sought-after stone in jewellery.

Brazil is the no.1 producer of Citrine, with the state of Rio Grande do Sul producing most of the Citrine exported from Brazil. The word Citrine comes from the Latin word "citrina" which means yellow.
