Description Yellow Citrine Tumbled Bracelet Heat-treated Citrine refers to amethyst that has been heated to a high temperature to enhance its natural yellow to golden-brown color, turning it into what we know as Citrine. Amethyst and Citrine are both varieties of quartz, but their colors differ due to trace elements. Here’s a more detailed breakdown: Citrine in Nature: Natural Citrine is quite rare and typically has a pale yellow or light golden color, which is often not as vibrant as what is seen in most Citrine jewelry. Heating Process: To create a more vivid, rich yellow or golden hue, Amethyst crystals (which are purple in color) are exposed to high heat (around 450°C – 750°C). This process alters the iron content in the Amethyst, transforming its color from purple to yellow or gold, resulting in a bright, sunny appearance. Energy and Healing: While the heating process enhances the color, heat-treated Citrine retains the same healing properties as natural Citrine, such as boosting energy, abundance, and mental clarity. The process does not negatively affect its metaphysical properties. Ethics and Transparency: Heat treatment of Citrine is widely accepted in the gemstone industry, and reputable sellers often disclose this treatment to ensure transparency with customers. So, when you see Citrine that’s heat-treated, it’s essentially Amethyst that has undergone a transformation to achieve a warmer, golden color, while maintaining its energetic and metaphysical qualities.
