Citrine belongs to the quartz family, which is one of the most extensive and well-known mineral groups globally. Quartz is composed of silicon dioxide, an abundant mineral on Earth. The peculiarity of citrine in the quartz group is its yellow color, which is due to iron impurities in its structure. In nature, citrine is rare, with most citrines available on the market coming from the heat treatment of amethyst, which can transform into citrine when heated at appropriate temperatures. Citrine is usually extracted from quartz deposits and is easily identifiable due to its yellow color. Brazil is the main producer of citrine, known for its large quantity of quartz deposits.
