Quality
When purchasing a natural Citrine gemstone, whether online or from a local supplier, it’s essential to carefully consider the four major quality-defining factors: color, clarity, cut, and origin. For astrological purposes, the best quality Citrine is a natural, untreated, unheated stone with a bright golden-yellow color and good transparency.

• Origin – Citrine quartz is mined in several countries, including Bolivia, Russia, Madagascar, Myanmar, Brazil, and the USA. Brazilian Citrine is particularly renowned for its superior color and clarity, making it highly sought after. High-quality Citrine is also found in African mining regions.
• Color – Citrine gemstones come in various shades, often marketed under names like ‘Lemon Quartz,’ ‘Lemon Citrine,’ ‘Smoky Citrine Quartz,’ ‘Lemon Green Citrine,’ ‘Madeira Citrine,’ and ‘Champagne Citrine.’ However, we recommend choosing a natural bright yellow or slightly golden yellow Citrine with uniform consistency and medium saturation. For astrological use, Citrine with brownish tints should be avoided.
• Clarity – Citrine is categorized as a Type I clarity gemstone, meaning it should be nearly eye-clean. Inclusions such as negative crystals, two-phase inclusions, liquid inclusions, and partially healed fractures are common in lower-quality stones. For astrological purposes, opt for a transparent Citrine gemstone with minimal visible flaws.
• Cut – Citrine gemstones are available in a variety of shapes, including round, oval, emerald, square, trillion, and pear, as well as different cuts like princess, cushion, and round. The choice of cut affects the gemstone's visual appeal and brilliance, but it does not impact the astrological properties. Therefore, select a cut that enhances the stone's color and overall brilliance.

Citrine Price
The value of Citrine stones is primarily influenced by three key factors: quality, size, and origin. Understanding how each of these factors affects the price will help buyers make more confident purchasing decisions.

Note: Currently, the price of Citrine stone in India ranges from Rs 125 per carat (approx. $2) to Rs 400 per carat (approx. $6) and can go higher. Citrine prices in countries like the USA, UAE, and the UK may differ significantly due to variations in demand and supply.

• Origin – Brazilian Citrine gemstones are the most sought-after, which results in higher prices compared to other origins. However, if the color and clarity are exceptional, Citrine from any origin can fetch a significant value in the market.
• Color – The price of Citrine largely depends on its color. Gems with bright yellow, golden yellow, or reddish-orange hues that are uniformly saturated tend to be priced higher. Citrine with poor color intensity, low saturation, smoky inclusions, or color zoning is less attractive and, therefore, sold at lower prices.
• Clarity – The level of transparency and the presence of inclusions (in terms of volume, location, and density) significantly impact the price of Citrine. As a general rule, the fewer inclusions a gemstone has, the higher its price. Therefore, eye-clean Citrine stones with good transparency are priced higher.
• Cut – The cutting style also affects the price. Citrine gemstones in highly customized, fancy shapes such as emerald or cushion cuts tend to be more expensive due to the increased wastage in creating deep facets. On the other hand, round and oval Citrine stones are more common and are available at relatively lower prices.
• Carat weight – Large Citrine crystals are readily available in nature, so the price per carat does not increase significantly for larger stones. However, in cases where the quality of Citrine is exceptional, a slight increase in price per carat may be observed for larger sizes.
  
  

Q) Which is a better alternative: Thailand Yellow Sapphire or Citrine, if one cannot afford the Sri Lankan Yellow Sapphire?
When faced with budget limitations, the Thailand Yellow Sapphire is the preferred choice. Citrine, though a worthy alternative, is considered a substitute and typically less potent than the natural Yellow Sapphire. Since Citrine is a replacement, it may take a little longer to manifest its astrological benefits. However, for those on a tighter budget, Citrine still provides valuable astrological support.

Q) How should Citrine be worn for optimal astrological benefits? Is it the same as wearing Yellow Sapphire?
Absolutely! Both Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) and Citrine (Sunela) are linked with Jupiter and follow the same procedure for wearing. To ensure maximum astrological benefits, you can refer to our detailed guide on How to Wear Yellow Sapphire. The process remains consistent for Citrine as well, aligning with the energy of Jupiter.

Q) Where is the best place to buy Citrine stones?
When purchasing Citrine, it's important to choose trusted vendors to ensure you're buying untreated, natural stones, ideal for astrological use. Always look for a supplier that provides a lab certificate to confirm the authenticity of the gemstone. A reliable vendor will also offer clear pricing and a transparent return policy.

Q) What is the cost of Citrine?
The value of a Citrine gemstone is determined by factors such as color, clarity, cut, carat weight, and origin. High-quality Citrine, with a rich yellow hue and excellent transparency, typically costs around Rs 400 per carat (approximately $6). The majority of top-grade Citrine comes from Brazil. Citrines with lighter, pale-yellow shades are priced lower, usually around Rs 200 per carat (approximately $3).
