Natural citrine is relatively rare compared to other quartz varieties. Most citrine on the market is heat-treated amethyst, though genuine natural citrine comes from Brazil, Madagascar, and Zambia.
Real citrine has a consistent color throughout and rates 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural citrine tends toward pale yellow, while heat-treated stones show deeper orange-red tones at the tips.
Citrine is durable enough for daily wear with a Mohs hardness of 7. It resists scratches from common materials and maintains its color without fading under normal light exposure.
