***Natural Citrines vs. Fake Citrines - Believe it or not, most citrines on the market today are heat-treated. Natural Citrine is exceptionally rare, so to fight this problem, the industry has adopted the creation of treated citrines.
Fake Citrine is created by heat-treating smoky Quartz or amethysts to gain the desired yellow color. Heat-treated Citrine will often have opaque white on it, usually at the base, which is a tell-tale sign of a heated crystal. Some unethical jewelers even pass
treated-glass as Citrine.
Natural Citrines have the same color throughout, although slight variations may exist.
Determining genuine Citrine becomes more complex because natural smokey Quartz and topaz can also have citrine color.
So to determine genuine natural Citrine, it must be professionally tested, which can be expensive. Buying from a reputable dealer that knows the mine it came from initially can help significantly.
Also, you can check cut Citrine in jewelry with a 10X magnification loop and look for bubbles. If bubbles are present, then it is not real. This method will not determine if it is topaz or another stone, only if is natural or not.
