Hello and welcome to splendid specimens



Citrine is a variety of quartz.

Its colouration can vary from very pale yellow to a deeper darker orange. Citrine owes its colour to iron impurities within the quartz at the time of formation. Like most quartz crystals Citrine is made of silicon and oxygen atoms and is a 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness.


Silicon Dioxide - Quartz has a specific chemical formula of SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide), a density of 2.60 to 2.70 and a refractive index of 1.544 to 1.553, all of which can help distinguish citrine from other similar materials.
