Hi, thanks for the very informative video. I just recently purchased a Citrine bracelet online and it was a darker yellow with what appears to be a brownish little tower/mountain shape in each bead... Just wondering if that's natural Citrine too?
That does not sound like an authentic specimen, just from your description. Natural Citrine bracelets are super rare and they are usually a very soft pale yellow color, there are some high grade ones that are a darker yellow, but those are even more rare and you would expect to pay over $100 for that high of a grade. You may have a heated amethyst bracelet, but that is just based on your description without actually seeing it.
At a metaphysical/crystal store, I wanted to purchase citrine, and she showed me her shelf of 'citrine' crystals. I did purchase a piece at a very reasonable price. But I had my doubts, and did my own online research and discovered it was heat-treated amethyst. It has the white on the bottom with small yellow clusters. It's a pretty 'crystal' but it's not natural citrine. I have learned to trust my own intuition and to do my own research.
Sorry for the late reply, I am finally reactivating my channel and responding to all the messages. I am so sorry that happened to you. You are right it is always best to trust our intuition. Just an FYI I like Treasure Crystals Wholesale (Sebastopol, CA) and Minec Minerals Wholesale for buying real citrine. Both will tell you if it is legit or heat treated and sell online.
I have a crystal and not sure if it’s citrine or something else. Wish I could send you a picture of it.
