Quartz in tones of pale wine and amber, valued for its clarity of colour and its steady brilliance.
The Stone
Citrine is quartz warmed to the colours of pale wine and amber. The trade values clarity first and colour second: a clean stone of even tone outranks a deeper one that holds shadow. Its brilliance is steady rather than fiery, a daylight stone.
Disposition
The house carries citrine in rough, tumbled, and cut forms, lots matched for tone so a jeweller can set a suite from one parcel. Even colour across a parcel is the mark the trade pays for.
