Is Your Citrine Fake!? How To Tell The Difference

Not all Citrine sold in the crystal shops are what they appear to be. This video will help you authenticate your citrine crystal or know what to look for when you go shopping.

U actually presented ur video in an excellent way, as u first mentioned the difference between real and fake, and then gave valid explanation😍

Citrine's one of my favorite stones. I have a piece of heat-treated citrine that is a dark orange color and it is gorgeous but I do prefer natural citrine. I have a few pieces of smokey citrine that I love.

I'm a Geology student on Nebraska, so watching this does make me interested in fake vitrine crystals, however, I would like to know why you you think that the large quartz point is Citrine and not clear rock quartz. And I thought it was interesting when you said that real genuine quartz comes from Africa only, but most of my textbooks, books and sources say that citrine originates in places such as Africa, but also Brazil (along with the beautiful Amethyst quartz), Madagascar, and from Russia. 2 main sources I take this from is The rock book by Carroll Lane Fenton and Mildred Adams Fenton. and a nature guide series book called Simon and Schuster's guide to Rocks and Minerals. I did find this informative and thank you for your time to make it.

I have the Same Right One, Golden Brown with the same size, When i keep this on my palm, i can feel the vibration

Just to correct you on it's origin: Citrine can also be found in, Colombia, Katanga, San Cristobal, Antananarivo Province, Madagascar; Salamanca, Spain; and Dauphine, France, Northern Ural Mountains of Russia...just to name a few!
So for people thinking, oh no, mine didn't come from Africa, it's ok! There's other places in the world with Citrine!

Thank you for this video, also thanks for sympathizing with us who just found out we have treated amethyst!!! So i love the fact that when you held up the natural citrine point....you could perfectly see riiiight thru it and you could see the very detailed wallpaper behind you! It was so cool to see the wallpaper shine thru the point like that!!!

I'm starting to think that large citrine point I've bought from the El Dorado Rock and Gem show is a fake because like you said, the colors of fake citrine can contrast with white along with golden yellow, orange, or brown.

Im so mad cause i thought I had a real one i got this from a crysral shop now in wondering if the other two crystals i got from there are real or not. Thanks for the video

[catalot]

Thank you so much. I just bought a chunk of citrine off Ebay (and I've had enough experience with Ebay to know you could be getting anything) and on receipt I immediately wondered if I had glass. It's a big chunk with a lot of crackling inside, otherwise similar appearing to your clear piece. I was so sure your clear piece was the fake! Now, I still don't know what I have for sure. It could easily be glass. But your info. is a big help.

Thank you!
Love your channel!
Can you please do a video on how they (books, sages, etc) know which stones do what? For example, how do they know that certain stones do certain things? How do they come to this conclusion? Is there a scientific explanation ? Can you PLEASE do a video on that?

[YearraeY]

good video straight to point. ;) my citrine is real with slight yellow almost unperceivable. I bought 2x fake citrine colored honey with white points etc. but found a good shop sold real ones. clear as glass. very slight tinge yellow. natural. not heated.

[jenniferavenoso]

Yes yes !! And they're trying to call it now something else but it's not citrine at all right? Ametrine

[johnlomax]

Thanks for this video. I've been telling people this for years. Real citrine is fairly rare as you know. Heat treated amethyst is what most people see.

[ashkenad]

damn! i've been duped! whatever now i have more amethyst i suppose

[DejaDrewit]

I’ve been duped! Thank you. Now searching for real citrine. I have so many fake ones... bummer

[donnalee]

Thank you for clarification. I have a citrine point very similar to crystal B, but is a little more smokey, and the other one I have is crystal A. I noticed the fake citrine is very brittle and I can break apart with my hands.

[Krizzie_bee]

Ok, so now i know what I have is Actually Amethyst, not citrine... which is usually what I'm drawn to anyway (my favorite, i even named my daughter Amethyst!). That tricky lil rock! So my question is.... Since it's been heat treated, are the properties still the same as a regular amethyst or is it ruined or what?

[kyh]

I have citrine exactly like your B and after buying it thinking it was natural citrine was later informed it was lemon quartz which is irradiated and not citrine at all. Thoughts?

[chidede]

So would Ametrine be the same as this fake citrine, or is there really such a thing as that? I've seen places that sell Ametrine to customers as a 'rare' stone.

[oshunearthtarot]

Can someone please tell me is it still a powerful crystal? How should I use it? As an amethyst crystal or what?
