CITRINE TRILLION 10.66cts
Citrine is the yellow or golden yellow
variety of quartz. The yellow coloration is due to the presence of iron
also responsible for the name, derived from the word citrus. Natural
citrine is usually a pale yellow, but rare; most citrine on the market
is heat treated amethyst. Gem quality citrine is extremely rare. The best
material is found in brazil, Spain, Madagascar and the former USSR. Citrine
has been used to imitate topaz and was once called Brazilian topaz. REF;
