Citrine: Real or Fake? – Natural or Heat Treated Amethyst?

In this video I will be talking about Citrine – the difference between natural Citrine and heat treated Amethyst.
What is heat treated Amethyst? Why heat treat Amethyst when Citrine already exists? How do we identify heat treated Amethyst?

In this video I describe and give tips on what I personally look out for when purchasing Citrine crystals.

I hope you enjoy the video!

  2. elviiqs on July 17, 2023 at 3:25 pm

    all my "citrine" is heat treated amethyst but my "clear quartz" is citrine. what the fuck



  3. Trinidad on July 17, 2023 at 3:27 pm

    Mine is clear , looks real, subscribed and thank you



  4. Laura Elizabeth on July 17, 2023 at 3:27 pm

    Is there somewhere to message you a video? After watching this I thought for sure I had real citrine but a customer says it’s not

    Does heat treated amethyst still work like Citrine?



  6. Jillian Lange on July 17, 2023 at 3:28 pm

    I’d like to point out that ALL Citrine is heat treated – the difference is whether the quartz got heated inside of the Earth, or whether it got heated by humans after being mined. It is all still quartz – SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide), but once the quartz gets heated and becomes yellow, it is considered Citrine (which is actually a trade name, not a scientific name), end of discussion. Even "natural citrine" is still heated inside the Earth – it starts out as clear, smoky or amethyst quartz too. Check out GIA for more scientific data and research on this topic.

  9. Leopoldo Ape on July 17, 2023 at 3:32 pm

  10. M Man on July 17, 2023 at 3:32 pm

    Earth does not intend anything but I understand



  11. Anthony Tonkin on July 17, 2023 at 3:33 pm

    Oh bugger I thought I got the real deal. Now I know cheers.



  12. Prime on July 17, 2023 at 3:33 pm

    People should stop buying the heat treated ones that will stop the counterfeit business going.



  13. _soul_light on July 17, 2023 at 3:36 pm

    Thank you so much for this information!



  17. Cosmic Warrior Princess Harmony on July 17, 2023 at 3:41 pm

    I can’t believe humans.



  18. Midnight Summer on July 17, 2023 at 3:42 pm

    So if it’s heat treated amethyst it loses its power? I am new to crystal and i am drawn to them i dont know why. So i have purchased pieces of crystals such as citrine, but i saw this. So much to learn yet.



  19. Jenny Moore on July 17, 2023 at 3:43 pm

    Wow! Thank you for this video.
    I am disappointed that my beautiful Citrine’s that i love ao much are heat trated Amethyst.
    On the hunt i go for the real deal



  20. Leopoldo Ape on July 17, 2023 at 3:45 pm

    does heat treated citrine has a rainbows inside?



  21. John Kennedy on July 17, 2023 at 3:46 pm

    All the big crystal Dealers on ebay say their natural citrine have all been heated. Kinda frustrating imo, but I respect their honestly



  22. Sapphire on July 17, 2023 at 3:48 pm

    Earthbound lied to me



  23. Tad Dorsey on July 17, 2023 at 3:49 pm

    i just ordered heat treated from serenity herbal tnx so much for the vid



  24. Albanian Gamer on July 17, 2023 at 3:50 pm

    why are asians like this



  25. MeianJū Naihatsu on July 17, 2023 at 3:58 pm

    Thank you for the explanations. It’s interesting when you research Citrine online you usual only see the man made one. The natural Citrine has a subtle beauty to it



  26. Megan Brownhill on July 17, 2023 at 4:00 pm

    Mine is round and has little random reflections inside it. Is it glass?



  27. RAVEN-WOLF on July 17, 2023 at 4:01 pm

    I feel like i been fooled.. but i still have my love for my Heated citrine



  28. Trevor Shanders on July 17, 2023 at 4:02 pm

    Just bought some citrine today and after watching this video it is definitely heat treated amethyst, still think it looks amazing! Now time to get me some real citrine for the collection now that I can tell the difference, learn something new everyday, thanks you!



  29. Edyl Dalumpenis on July 17, 2023 at 4:03 pm

    Hello



  30. kai on July 17, 2023 at 4:03 pm

    Can you find heat treated amethyst in nature since I found my citrine but now I’m not sure if its really citrine or heat treated amethyst



  31. Kaylin Jacklyn on July 17, 2023 at 4:03 pm

    The more you know the more you realize that it looks just like amethyst but a yellow color , Number 1 way to know if it’s real citrine or not



  32. Edward Phipps on July 17, 2023 at 4:03 pm

    Thanks for the advice. I almost bought I almost bought heat, treated amethyst. Luckily I held off of my purchase. Otherwise I would have gotten duped Thank you so much.



  33. Avik Bhattacharjee on July 17, 2023 at 4:07 pm

    Now it is fairly understood that natural citrine would be difficult to reach as market is full of converted Crystal. Provided that please share what are the major differences in its impact on the effects it actually claims to provide.



  34. Regina F. on July 17, 2023 at 4:07 pm

    Thank you so much for this video it was clear and straight to the point I was able to clearly understand the difference.



  35. Prernaa Kashyap Khatri on July 17, 2023 at 4:08 pm

    My citrine is heat treated. But thanks for such a lovely video ❤



  36. mslady luna on July 17, 2023 at 4:13 pm

    it’s totally sicking how the seller can be so deceitful, it pathetic



  37. Empacktheya on July 17, 2023 at 4:16 pm

    That’s interesting that only the purple part turned orange.
    I have these crystals that were once pure white. And they turned completely dark orange/brown from being in our backyard, near a train track.



  38. netsanet taye on July 17, 2023 at 4:20 pm

  39. ambrosiaLOVLY on July 17, 2023 at 4:24 pm
