citrines

Lemon-colored gemstones

Citrines are yellow or golden-brown semiprecious gemstones, a variety of quartz prized for their warm, amber-like color.

Natural citrines are relatively rare; most commercial citrines are actually heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz.

The name derives from the French word for lemon, reflecting the stone's characteristic hue.

She collected citrines and other yellow stones for her jewelry designs.
