Citrine Gemstone Beads Collection

What Is Citrine?

Citrine is a beautiful yellow-to-golden variety of quartz prized for its warm glowing color, elegant transparency, durability, and timeless luxurious appearance. Citrine ranges from pale champagne and lemon yellow to rich honey gold, amber, cognac, and deep burnt orange tones.

Natural citrine is relatively rare in nature, and much of the citrine available on the gemstone market today is created by heat-treating amethyst or smoky quartz to achieve deeper golden-orange coloration. Both natural and heat-treated citrine are widely used in jewelry making and gemstone bead designs.

With a Mohs hardness of approximately 7, citrine is considered a durable gemstone suitable for everyday jewelry and artisan beading projects.

Citrine is also the traditional birthstone for November and has long been associated with warmth, sunlight, luxury, and golden elegance.

At Tiny Gem Supply, we specialize in carefully curated citrine gemstone beads ranging from delicate micro gemstone beads to luxurious collector gemstone strands for refined jewelry and artisan beading designs.
