NOTE: There are two types of Citrine on the market. The first, most common variety is heat treated in order to obtain a bright golden yellow/orange color. Heat-treated or "enhanced" Citrine is a very popular and useful stone. The intensity of the color brings an additional intensity to the stone itself.

The second type of Citrine is natural Citrine. This Citrine has not been enhanced in any way; in fact, it is the same color as it was coming out of the mine.  Natural Citrine, which is a pale, golden color, is not as abundant as its "enhanced" counterpart.  Natural Citrine provides for powerful healing on many different levels and carries a cleaner, smoother vibration.
