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

all of my citrines are fake wth..
all my "citrine" is heat treated amethyst but my "clear quartz" is citrine. what the fuck
Mine is clear , looks real, subscribed and thank you
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?
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.
this was very helpful. thank you.
see i dont mind having heat treated amethyst in my collection it is beautiful, but i just want to know that thats what im buying. i bought a heat treated amethyst and thought it was citrine before i was informed. i want citrine for my creativity intentions
does heat treated citrine has a rainbow inside?
Earth does not intend anything but I understand
Oh bugger I thought I got the real deal. Now I know cheers.
People should stop buying the heat treated ones that will stop the counterfeit business going.
Which one is best in quality & energy the Madagascar or Zambian or Congo citrine ?
THANK you so much for this informative post .
Brilliant thank you
Thank you so much for this information!
I can’t believe humans.
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.
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
does heat treated citrine has a rainbows inside?
All the big crystal Dealers on ebay say their natural citrine have all been heated. Kinda frustrating imo, but I respect their honestly
Earthbound lied to me
i just ordered heat treated from serenity herbal tnx so much for the vid
why are asians like this
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
Mine is round and has little random reflections inside it. Is it glass?
I feel like i been fooled.. but i still have my love for my Heated citrine
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!
Hello
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
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
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.
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.
Thank you so much for this video it was clear and straight to the point I was able to clearly understand the difference.
My citrine is heat treated. But thanks for such a lovely video ❤
it’s totally sicking how the seller can be so deceitful, it pathetic
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.
I have the real citrine how can I contact you, madam?
ok are you picking them up explaining them and saying if there real why does so many of these videos just won’t get to the damn point
Thank you so much for this very thoughtful video this helped so much
