Scott's Tips
To clean citrine, use warm soapy water and a soft brush. An ultrasonic cleaner is generally safe to use, but a steam cleaner is not. Avoid contacting harsh chemicals with your citrine.
Citrine
This golden quartz family gem is a close relative to amethyst. A November birthstone, citrine is the recommended gift for the 13th wedding anniversary. Derived from the French word citron, meaning lemon, citrine can vary in color from pure yellow to golden honey to smoky brown.
Of all the earth toned gems, citrine is one of the most popular and affordable. Known for having good luster, citrine is available in all sizes. Generally, the most valued types are in intense orange colors.
