Cirtrine

Citrine, a rarity in nature, was often mistaken for topaz due to its tawny hue in the era predating modern gemology. Nowadays, its alluring color, coupled with the durability and cost-effectiveness inherent in most quartz varieties, positions it as the leading choice among yellow-to-orange gems. Within today's market, the most sought-after shade for citrine is a warm, deep, brownish, or reddish orange.
