Citrine

Citrine is a transparent variety of quartz with a color ranging from pale yellow to brownish orange. It shares the mineral family with amethyst, although its appearance is different. This entry allows recognizing the vocabulary before choosing a color combination. A stone is not identified solely by its tone, and its treatment or value is not deduced from a commercial image.
